Transwa Prospector Totally Explained

Everything about The Transwa Prospector totally explained

The Transwa Prospector is a standard-gauge passenger train operated by Transwa that runs between Perth, Western Australia, and the Goldfields town of Kalgoorlie.

History

The Prospector replaced the narrow-gauge overnight passenger train called the The Westland that ran on the older Eastern Railway route. The original Prospector railcars first entered service in November 1971. These Comeng-built units consisted of five power cars WCA901 through WCA905, and three non-powered trailers WCE921 through WCE923. In 2008 the old railcars were purchased by C.D. Dodd Scrap Metal Recyclers and are now stored at their Forrestfield property.
The first of three new-generation railcars entered service on 28 June 2004, with the original railcars being retired on 29 July 2005. The new railcars are built for a top speed of 210 km/h, but track conditions currently only allow a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The new railcars built by Goninan consist of three driving cars WDA001 through WDA003, three driving cars without buffet WDB011 through WDB013, and an idling car WDC021. These form two units of two cars, and a third which is three cars long; an additional two-car unit of the same design operates the AvonLink service.
The new Prospector railcars feature standard 240V mains power outlets on the walls between seats for connecting of laptops and other accessories.
