Collie, Coal Erra Coming To The End.

Western Australia relied heavily on railways to develop its inland regions in the early years. Essential to the railways were coal for the fuel for steam engines, and water – both plentiful in Collie—this abundance of resources led to Collie becoming the second-largest rail centre in the State after Fremantle. Coal is still transported by rail from Collie today.?Also essential in building the rail network were wooden sleepers over which the railway tracks were laid. Again Collie with its large jarrah forests provided hundreds of thousands of railway sleepers. Timber mills were plentiful, with some such as Worsley and Lyall’s Mill supporting communities into the 1950s.
Worsley was the first railway location link to Collie
