The Goomalling to West Merredin railway line is a 183-kilometre (114 mi) long railway line operated by Arc Infrastructure in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, connecting Goomalling with West Merredin. Only the western part of the railway line, the 66-kilometre (41 mi) section from Goomalling to Wyalkatchem, is operational, while the 117-kilometre (73 mi) section from Wyalkatchem to West Merredin is not in use.^[1][2][3][4]

At Goomalling, the railway line connects to the Avon Yard to Mullewa railway line while, at West Merredin, it connects to the Eastern Goldfields Railway. Additionally, at Amery, the Amery to Kalannie railway line branches off to the north of the Goomalling to West Merredin line while, at Wyalkatchem, the former Wyalkatchem to Southern Cross railway line branches off, but this line now only goes as far as Mukinbudin.^[1][2][3]
