South West Rail & Heritage Centre September Open Day

Come and join us at the South West Rail & Heritage Centre, Boyanup Sunday September 27th for our September Open Day.

With Leschenault Lady up in Perth receiving some TLC, steam locomotive H18 will be on display. Built by Neilson & Co, Glasgow and delivered in 1889, H18 spent time around the state including the opening of the Bunbury – Boyanup railway (1891) and working on the Mundaring Weir line (1903-1904) and the Fremantle Harbour North Quay (1911). By 1949 it was back in Bunbury for use on the breakwater construction, then shunting duties until c1961. It underwent a rebuild by Rail Heritage WA in the Midland Workshops and moved to the SWRHC in 2019
