It serves the city of Kalgoorlie. Beyond Kalgoorlie the line continues east as the Trans-Australian Railway. EstablishmentConstruction of the railway station and yard was begun in the late 1890s, as part of the extension of the Eastern Goldfields Railway from Coolgardie in January 1897.[2] The station was formally opened by the Governor of Western Australia, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Gerard Smith KCMG, at a ceremony held on the station platform on 8 September 1896.[3] In the early stages of the development of railways in the Eastern Goldfields it was the junction for the following railways:[4]
In 1917, Kalgoorlie became a break-of-gauge station when the Commonwealth Railways' standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway from Port Augusta opened. This ceased on 3 August 1968, when the Eastern Goldfields Railway was gauge converted.[8][9] Loop LineThe line went from Kalgoorlie station:[10]

PlatformThe platform is the longest in Western Australia.[12] At either end of the main platform are two bays; the one to the east (adjacent to the former water tank and signal box) was where services from the Boulder loop line passenger services arrived, and the western bay is where the current Prospector services terminate. The eastern end bay was also where passengers embarked and disembarked when the Trans-Australian service terminated in Kalgoorlie, prior to the extension of the standard gauge line to Perth. Location and commemorationsDue to it being the western terminus of the Trans-Australian Railway, the station has been the location of a number of commemorations and ceremonies from the opening of that railway in 1917 and since.[13] ServicesKalgoorlie is served by the Transwa Prospector rural train service and the Indian Pacific. It was also previously served by the Kalgoorlie Express, The Westland and Trans Australian. The Prospector service runs to and from East Perth once or twice each day.[14] Indian PacificThe Indian Pacific also stops here. It runs once or twice a week (depending on the time of year) each way between East Perth and Sydney Central. See also
