1st November 2019 CBH and Arc achieve an agreement after some years of arbitration (2013-2019): -
There are many changes in the region - the roadworks are unabated to increase the carrying capacity and replace the now unused rail branches
There are also changes in crops - the region can be as commonly called the Grain Belt as much as the wheatbelt.
Re-start of project - some issues to consider:
Wikimedia Australia and others as supporters of the larger 'Western Australian Wheatbelt Project' are pleased to note that a component project - Wiki Takes Western Australian Wheatbelt Railways 2013 commenced on the 25th of September 2013 in the accompanying of the last Aurizon grain carriage train travelling between Merredin and Avon yard, via Narrogin.
The Wiki Takes the Wheatbelt Railways is related to all current operating, and also long ceased operating railway lines in the Wheatbelt region, and beyond. It will takeplace over a number of months, where 'takes' journeys will be made along railway lines currently operating, as well as some due to be closed by the operators in October 2013. It is expected this 'takes' will be a series of events that will be advertised here.
As a consequence it is an opposite to the majority of 'takes' events, in that it will take place over a wide range of locations, over time, in Western Australia.
It is possible this was the last, or second last train to travel the length of this line before an announced closure in October 2013.
Narrogin is a former extensive railway junction and depot, it is still viable and is an essential location in the current network, so it is the rolling stock on this train, and the line it just passed through between Merredin and here that is likely to become redundant.
Dates of photos might not correlate to specific events, but might also included photos added in name of the project that are taken at other times or out of sequence.
