Overview

Freight Card for WAGR to be attached to goods prior to weighing and despatch. These were used extensively on the WAGR system.

Historical information

Found in November 2016 in the old railway building at the former freight yard in West Toodyay, now the Toodyay community depot area.
After 1966, the West Toodyay station was located at the junction of the narrow gauge Miling railway line (which originally directed trains from Miling through Toodyay to Clackline) and the new standard gauge line which brought trains directly to Toodyay from Perth.

As the units of measurements used are metric it is likely this freight card dates from after 1970.
