[5] The contract for the 19-kilometre (12 mi) Naraling to Yuna section was awarded to the Western Australian Public Works Department on 30 June 1911 and the railway line opened on 3 May 1912.

[9] The two railway lines had received little funding in the previous year, sufficient only to cover preliminary work and survey expenses.

[12] In 1954, the state government of Western Australia had compiled a list of loss-making railway operations, of which the Wokarina to Yuna line was one, having had a total expenditure of almost four times its earnings in the financial year to June 1953, £A 29,593 expenditure versus earnings of £A 9,512.

[13] Original rail services on the line consisted of two mixed passenger and freight trains per week, operated with steam engines.

By the 1950s, improved road transport resulted in a decline in the need to rail services and just one return train to Geraldton per week operated on Fridays.
