Description
[edit]
Mundijong railway station is located along the South Western Railway within Mundijong, Western Australia, on the outskirts of Perth. The station building is listed on the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale Local Heritage Survey.[1][2]
History
[edit]The station was opened in 1893 and was originally named Jarrahdale Junction.[3] This was due to being the location where the Rockingham to Jarrahdale line between 1872 and 1962 intersected with the south west line.[citation needed]
The name changed to Mundijong Junction in March 1902, later the name was simplified to Mundijong.[4] The station building was surveyed for other uses in 1995.[5] The station was staffed from 27 July 1893 to 31 October 1985, with at least one station master being identified as a local pioneer.[6] In 1999 the station platform and new buildings were relocated to the other side of the line.[1]
Services
[edit]Mundijong station is served by the twice-daily Australind train service from Perth to Bunbury.[7] Mundijong is planned to become connected with Transperth services.[8]
