The Fremantle to Armadale railway (usually known as the Jandakot or Bibra Lake line) was a railway route connecting Armadale to Fremantle.

Sections from Fremantle

The junction from the Fremantle line south was from Robb Jetty[1]

It linked Armadale to Fremantle via Forrestdale and Jandakot by 1907.

It was constructed in response to the need to transport agricultural goods in the Armadale and Forrestdale areas to the port of Fremantle. The railway was closed as a result of a line linking Jarrahdale to Kwinana and was replaced by Armadale Road.
