A Midland Railway carriage at the Railway Museum in Bassendean, Western Australia. The Midland Railway of Western Australia (MRWA) was a privately built and operated railway in Western Australia, operated by the British-owned Midland Railway Company of Western Australia. The company's railway ran between Midland Junction railway station, east of Perth, and Walkaway, southeast of Geraldton, and was built on a land-grant principle. It was one of the longest-lived privately owned railways in Australia, operating independently of the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) network for more than seventy years, from 1892 until its WAGR takeover in 1964. The 446 km (277 mi) long route served 39 stations and operated according to a distinctly British practice.
