    3:52 The PN steel train returning to the east?
    10:34 Road to the right leads to the PTA's maintenance facility for its standard gauge passenger trains, and I think the IP also uses it.
    11:17 Daddow Rd had been a busy level crossing that was a bottle neck to heavy road transport.
    12:02 Kewdale Freight Terminal
    13:29 There was a rail overbridge here once
    17:57 And Arc Infrastructure's rail welding facility, that was moved from Bellevue
    20:45 I believe the Kenwick connection hasn't been used for many years.
    21:18 Photos of the standard gauge track being constructed under the Kenwick Flyover were taken by the structural engineer and great railway photographer Weston Langford
    23:00 Canning River
    24:06 Thornlie-Cockburn Link under construction
    36:46 On the right, the end of the former Bibra Lake branch. Before that it was part of the forner Fremantle-Armadale line.

    3:38 Seeing the old Bluebird railcar re-purposed as a crew car, made me lament the lack of country passenger rail in SA once again. 😭 It was good to see all the infrastructure work going on in WA though. 😄
    (Since this was shot in November, I'll resist the temptation to suggest the time zones are two months apart.)😉

    How much of the freight line did they have to realign for the Thornlie-Cockburn link? From Spencer Rd to the Freeway?

    I know this is only 1 little corridor of the Perth metro area in the Eastern suburbs but even just from this you can get an idea of just how much infrastructure expansion Perth is going through atm. No wonder the Australian beuaro of statistics predicts Perth will overtake Brisbane as Australia's 3rd city by the end of the decade
