You'll discover a unique piece of Western Australian outback history on the Rail Access Track near Cooya Pooya—a short but intriguing route that offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore industrial heritage in remote bushland. This brief 0.3 km track provides easy access to abandoned railway infrastructure, making it an ideal stop for those interested in the region's mining and transport history alongside their off-road adventure.

The terrain here is relatively straightforward with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle, allowing you to focus on the fascinating surroundings rather than technical driving.

While the track itself presents minimal technical difficulty, you should be prepared for typical outback conditions—ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential supplies including water and a spare tire.
