If you like to hear and see history unfold before your eyes and are interested in Western Australia’s rail heritage, plan a visit to the Interpretive Centre at the former Midland Railway Workshops.
The Midland Railway Workshops Interpretive Centre, which is a Western Australian heritage icon. is a partnership between the Midland Redevelopment Authority and Rail Heritage WA.
The Interpretive Centre is the former Time Keeper’s Office at the entrance to the Workshops site.
The Centre is dedicated to all who worked there from 1904 to 1994 and their families.
The weatherboard building retains its 1920s ambience while high-tech audio-visual equipment brings back the voices of the workers to the site. The Centre gives visitors vivid insights into a former industrial workplace with a fascinating social history. Large panels give a cameo into Workshops activities, and a DVD and interactive touch screen allow you to find out more.
