North Fremantle Railway Station
North Fremantle railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Fremantle line, 16.2 kilometres from Perth, serving the Fremantle suburb of North Fremantle.

History

The original North Fremantle station on the north side of Tydeman Street opened in 1881.

The station and yard was linked to the Rocky bay railway, during the existence of the life of the branch line. It was also linked to the Leighton marshalling yard, and the railway lines in the grounds of North Wharf of Fremantle Harbour.

In 1964, a new station halt opened in conjunction with a new Fremantle Railway Bridge with the original site redeveloped as a diesel locomotive depot. On 28 July 1991 as part of the electrification of the line, a new station opened 800 metres to the north also replacing Leighton station that was a further 700 metres further north.
