Midland Railway Workshops, Railway workshops heritage site in Woodbridge, Australia
Midland Railway Workshops is a heritage industrial site in Woodbridge featuring multiple restored buildings that date back to the early 1900s. The complex includes production halls, storage areas, and administrative structures typical of large railway manufacturing facilities.
The workshops opened in 1904 as a major facility for building and repairing locomotives and carriages for the Western Australian Railways. They served as the engineering heart of the region's railway operations for many decades.
The workshops brought together hundreds of workers who shared a common purpose in maintaining the region's railway network. Social spaces like the canteen became central to the daily life of this industrial community.
The site is best explored on foot as buildings are spread across the grounds. Wear comfortable shoes when wandering through the different structures and checking out the various exhibition spaces.
The site preserves specialized metalworking shops where locomotive parts and carriage components were handcrafted using period techniques. This skilled manufacturing reveals the technical complexity of early railway engineering.
