Timetable for the West Australian tourist train from Perth to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie. A journey of 653km in 7 hours and 35 minutes that's....well you do the arthmetic but suffice to say it was not a high speed route although it was the fastest in Australia at the time. Today you can travel the route in less than 7 hours see http://www.transwa.wa.gov.au/plan-your-journey/the-prospector Perth terminal is now called East Perth Terminal.
