The limited railway network in the south west of Western Australia is narrow gauge and freight only. Principal freight is grain and wood chip. A large storage and bulk handling facility is located at Albany on Western Australia's south coast where the wood chip and grain a transferred to their respective bulk ships mostly for overseas markets.

Interesting! Thank you for posting.

I have a question. Narrow gauge means different things. Eyeballing the track in Pic#1, it would seem to be close to "standard gauge". What is the their narrow gauge span?
