Kewdale Freight Terminal, Rail freight terminal in Kewdale, Western Australia.
Kewdale Freight Terminal is a rail cargo facility in Western Australia with multiple loading tracks in different gauges and three dedicated loading platforms. The site operates as a key point for transferring goods between trains and other transport modes.
The facility opened in 1967 originally with narrow gauge tracks and gained standard gauge lines in 1968. This expansion allowed it to replace the former Perth marshalling yard.
The terminal plays a role in connecting the region to other parts of Australia through rail transport. Local workers in logistics and operations shape the daily activity at this working facility.
This is an active freight facility, so visitors should follow safety guidelines and stay in permitted areas. It is best to check in advance what areas are accessible and how to approach the site safely.
The terminal manages train movements largely through manual radio communication with central train control, except for departure roads. This reflects operational practices at Australian freight facilities.
