In a blend of sustainability and historical preservation, the METRONET Byford Rail Extension Project has donated around 400 pre-used railway sleepers to Rail Heritage WA.

From beautiful landscapes to a snapshot of the biodiversity of the Yanchep region, the nine public art pieces on the Yanchep Rail Extension celebrate culture, history and environment. 

As you jump aboard the train heading to or from the new Alkimos, Eglinton or Yanchep stations and settle into your seat, take a minute to think about the person driving the train.

In September 2021 when the Yanchep Rail Extension Project began, around 550 Balgas were carefully removed from the Ningana Bushland and have been lovingly cared for in a nursery ever since.
