WAGR COMPLETES ITS GAUGE CONVERSION PROJECT

This year will see the completion, after 12 years, of Australia's biggest gauge conversion project. Whereas WAGR's 3 ft 6 in gauge section of the east-west transcontinental main line was replaced by standard gauge on a new alignment, the branches from Kalgoorlie to Leonora and Esperance are being converted at minimum cost using secondhand materials.
