No more mainline steam in Western Australia.It seems we really lag behind other states with mainline tourist trains.I’m sure people would love to travel on a mainline steam/heritage diesel hauled tour in preserved rolling stock to a country destination for a day tour.what a shame we cannot do what other states can and regularly do.Change is needed if heritage rail is ever to survive in Western Australia.

Golden. I was in Perth with the US Navy in 1998. I was absolutely amazed by the expanse of the rail system then especially relative to the size of the city. I can’t imagine how good the system is now. Really wish my country (USA) would have developed systems like this all over our metropolis of 1 million or greater.

Perth is not far from a doubled population since then... nearly 2.2 million now. There's 3 big rail expansions going on right now... and there has been a few in the last 15 years... * New line out to a new suburb called Ellenbrook that is North east from Perth. * Extensions of the new Electric line up the freeway North of Perth all the way to Yanchep. * The Armadale line is currently closed, being upgraded to remove ALL street level crossing and extending the electric out past Armadale to Byford. The new Thornlie line is being extended to join what for you would be a new Line that goes all the way down south to Mandurah. There is also a line out to the Airport now... underground from where it goes under the river all the way to the Airport. We're a lucky state... 4 times the size of Texas and full of minerals that the world needs. The mineral royalties help pay for much of our infrastructure. Were you on the Kittyhawk...?... thanks for your service.
