Elgin

Elgin is a small farming locality situated between Capel and Boyanup on the Boyanup Road West and Railway Road which run through this area. The old Boyanup to Capel railway runs through the district, indeed both Trigwell and Elgin once boasted railway sidings. These days the sidings have gone but the unused track remains. Traditionally Elgin is dairy country with some beef. Settlement commenced in the 1830's. The name Elgin is of Scottish origin

Elgin - Railway Line

Looking along the track west towards Capel. This line came through in the early 1890's and a siding was established here around 1895. The siding buildings and facilities were probably on that land left of the track. This line has been closed for over 30 years now. December 2016. Photos Ref: ELGN05
