History

On 22 October 1898, the Fremantle line was extended south for 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to Robbs Jetty. On 1 July 1903, the line was extended to Coogee.[2] Initially the line was only served by freight trains; a passenger service began in 1913.[3]

Robbs Jetty station was the near the Robb Jetty Abattoir[4] and South Fremantle Power Station.

Location of the marshalling yard

A large dual gauge marshalling yard with a four-storey signal box tower was built by the Western Australian Government Railways in the 1960s as part of the standard gauge project from Kalgoorlie to Leighton to serve local industries. With the closure of the power station in 1985 and the abattoir 1992, the yard was decommissioned and lifted. The site has been earmarked for residential redevelopment.[5]
