Chidlow railway station, Perth
Railway station of importance on the Eastern Railway in Western Australia. In all Working Timetables (WTT) during the operation of this line, there was an arrival and departure time, owing to either taking on water for steam engines, or change in crew.
Up until its closure, it had tearooms, and the overnight sleeper train 'The Westland' to Kalgoorlie had a refreshment stop at Chidlow.
The Bellevue to Chidlow railway line involved the encounter with the Darling Scarp requiring extra power for the up line, and extra caution for the down line.
Closed in 1966 at the time of the Avon Valley rail route being opened, and the old Eastern Railway route became superflous to WAGR needs.
The Mundaring and Hills Historical Society usually have a photograph of this railway station in their annual calendar.
