South to North Freo
Friday, January 23rd, 2009A simple image tracing the train lines south from Leighton Beach to North Fremantle rail station and further on to the Fremantle skyline.
For a city of just 1.4m people, Perth has a surprisingly vast and efficient rail network. That said, the Fremantle line, built in 1881 was actually closed in 1979 due to the ever expanding Stirling Highway being seen as the only way to travel. Not surprisingly, the line was reopened a few years later and remains both a pleasant journey and a part of popular culture.
