The narrow gauge (1067mm) line between Penong and Kevin was speed restricted to 20km/h throughout - not surprising when looking at the permanent way and its 60lb rail.
Alco 873 is seen between Penong and Kevin with its loaded grain train from on 4 February 1992.
Surprisingly the line survived for another five years, but is now a distant memory. The line from Kevin to the port of Thevenard still survives carrying gypsum traffic.
