The rolling stock which consisted of fifteen single track and ten bogie 'cross seated' closed cars were built by J.G.brill Company in Philadelphia, USA. The first section between Kalgoorlie and Boulder was opened in May 1902 with other lines being operated by January 1903. In May 1949 the company was taken over by the Eastern Goldfields Transport Board who closed the system in 1952.
