Juliet is on The Prospector travelling to Perth.
The state-of-the-art high speed Prospector, introduced into service on June 28, 2004, can travel at up to 160kmh, enabling it to complete the 653km trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie in under seven hours.
Track works are under way at the moment to make it faster. It’s a single line most of the way and The Prospector is often delayed waiting for freight trains. Extra passing loops will enable the passenger train to have a clearer run.
I’m a train buff without being obsessive like a “spotter”. I just think it’s a great way to travel. In Europe I went from Zurich to Amsterdam on a train, also to Venice and back from Zurich.
