Rail line to increase access to super pit

Engenium have begun work on a railway line to increase tourist access to the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

According to the company this new extension will run from the disused rail line at Boulder train station, which was part of the Golden Mile Loopline built in the late 1800s.

The Golden Mile Loopline was once the busiest railway in Australia, carrying freight for the miners, hauling wood, as well as transporting workers to the mines.

At its peak over 100 trains were running day and night.

It will run across the Goldfields Highway up to the Super Pit lookout and back.
