COTTESLOE TO BUNBURY WA VIA THE AUSTRALIND TRAIN TRANSWA RAILWAY

The City of Bunbury is a Local Government Area in the South West region of Western Australia, covering an area of 65.7 square kilometres (25.4 sq mi) along the coast about 180 kilometres (112 mi) south of Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

[edit] History
In 1871, the Bunbury Municipal Council was gazetted, and in 1899 the Bunbury Suburban Road Board (which became the Bunbury Road Board in 1908) followed. The two entities merged in 1950.

On 1 July 1961, Bunbury Municipal Council became a Town Council following changes to the Local Government Act. In 1979 it attained City status.

Australind in Transwa livery at the Bunbury Passenger Terminal.The Transwa Australind is a diesel railcar train operated by Transwa that runs between Perth, Western Australia, and the south-west city of Bunbury on the South Western Railway (Western Australia). The Australind fleet consists of three powered railcars ADP101, ADP102 and ADP103, with two non-driving trailers ADQ121 and ADQ122. These units form one railcar with an ADP car at each end, and the two ADQ cars in the center. The remaining ADP car is normally stowed at the maintenance depot for servicing.


[edit] History
The Australind service began in 1947 and was hauled by a steam locomotive. In the mid 1960s, diesel-electric locomotive power took over the route. The current self-powered diesel railcars were introduced in 1987. In July 2003 the railcars were painted in a new livery in line with the creation of the Transwa name. In 2007 the railcars were again given a facelift and painted white as part of an overall refurbishment of the fleet.

Is that track from Forrest Gump?  I love it. It's very familiar. Maybe St. Elmo's Fire?
