New public art at Midland’s Railway Square ghosts rail history of town

Justin BianchiniMidland Kalamunda Reporter

AN exciting piece of public art in Midland’s Railway Square is ghosting the old steam trains.

Interpretive rail tracks – where rail lines previously existed – house a misting and lighting feature forming part of the ‘Water line’.

It projects a fine water mist that reminiscences the locomotive steam, smoke and movement once found at the Midland Railway Workshops.
