The Workshops: A History of the Midland Government Railway Workshops


Add your own review!

Overview

For 90 years, the Government Railway Workshops at Midland were the largest Industrial workshops in Western Australia, training tradesmen to build and repair locomotive engines and rolling stock, and maintain the State's railway network that was at the heart of its economic development. Widespread community outrage greeted the State Government's decision to close the Workshops, but numerous campaigns to prevent the closure were fruitless, and the gates finally shut in March 1994. The Workshops records the history of this important industrial facility, and is the product of two ARC grant-funded history projects that involved more than 200 hours of interviewing past employees, as well as collecting and archiving Workshops documents and photographs of significant note.
