History
The Mullewa commenced operating on 30 October 1961 as a three times a week service between Perth and Mullewa.
In the 1940s a two days a week passenger service was available.[1]
Previously sleeper carriages had been attached to a freight train. At Mullewa it connected with a road coach service to Geraldton. Once a week, a sleeping carriage continued beyond Mullewa to Meekatharra attached to a freight train. The Mullewa was withdrawn on 17 March 1974.[2][3][4][5]
