Australian trains 50 - Avonlink service running down the Avon river valley to Perth, Midland
here we see the Avonlink 2 car set just west of Toodyay, dropping down hill as it makes the afternoon service to Perth Midland station
this service runs from Northam to Toodyay, and is still under threat by the train hating Liberal government in WA.
given the frequency and time the service runs and the fact the train no longer goes right into Perth, you can see why it is under used, which is a shame as it could be an excellent service for the community

NORTHAM WA TOWN ON THE MOVE
Northam is a town in Western Australia, situated at the confluence of the Avon and Mortlock Rivers, about 97 kilometres (60 mi) north-east of Perth in the Avon Valley. With a population of slightly over 6,000, Northam is the largest town in the Avon region. It is also the largest inland town in the state not founded on mining.
The area around Northam was first explored in 1830 by a party of colonists led by Ensign Robert Dale, and subsequently founded in 1833. It was named by Governor Stirling, probably after a village of the same name in Devon, England. Almost immediately it became a point of departure for explorers and settlers who were interested in the lands which lay to the east.
This initial importance declined with the growing importance of the other nearby towns of York and Beverley, but the arrival of the railway made Northam the major departure point for fossickers and miners who headed east towards the goldfields.
A notable scandal occurred in 1933 when the town's entire Aboriginal population were rounded up by police and dumped in the Moore River Native Settlement. The Northam Shire Council said they had scabies and were a health risk.[1]
During the 1940s and 1950s in Northam there were extensive camps for displaced European refugees and immigrants.
Steve Fossett became the first person to fly around the world alone, non-stop, in a balloon when he launched from Northam on 19 June 2002, and returned to Australia on 3 July, landing in Queensland.

After 53 years of debates and attempts, these two councils merged on 1 July 2007 to form one new council called the Shire of Northam. [edit] Railways Location of Northam, Western AustraliaNortham is a major railway junction, and serves as the commercial centre for much of the western Wheatbelt. The dual gauge Eastern Railway terminates here and becomes the standard gauge Eastern Goldfields Railway. Narrow gauge radiates both south of the town to York and beyond (Great Southern Railway), and north to Goomalling, another rural railway junction. The Northam railway station is used for the Prospector and Avonlink rural train services. The original station on Fitzgerald Street was opened in 1900 and closed in 1966 when the new Eastern Railway route became operational.[2] The Australian Railroad Group have a large railway yard named Avon Yard west of the town.
