[4] The second section from Cue to Nannine was awarded on 22 April 1901, now to the Western Australian Public Works Department (PWD).

[9] The private 85 miles (137 km)-long railway was short-lived, existing from 1927 until 1933, when the company mining manganese went into receivership.

Prior to this, on 5 March 1936, the Western Australian government had entered an agreement with the American Smelting and Refining Company to build the railway to Big Bell.

[18] Mullewa to Meekatharra line sections:[19] While all other trace of the former railway has disappeared from contemporary Western Australian railway maps, the 30 kilometres (19 mi) section from Mullewa to Pindar is designated as "Not in use" on the Public Transport Authority and Arc Infrastructure and maps.

[22][23] A number of buildings and installations associated with the railway line continue to exist and are heritage listed.

[24] Further east along the line, at Yalgoo, the railway station group is also on the State Register of Heritage Places.

[28] Meekatharra's rail infrastructure was actually enlarged after the line to Wiluna closed in 1957 as it became an important hub for transporting equipment for the developing iron ore mines in the Pilbara.
