Midland Junction Football Club, nicknamed the Railways, was an Australian rules football club that competed in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).[note 1] The club played in the WAFL, the premier football league in Western Australia, from 1905 to 1910 and again from 1914 to 1917.[1] The team wore black and gold hooped jumpers for the majority of the seasons they played in the WAFL.[2] Charles "Wagga" Gast was Midland Junction's games record holder, playing 105 matches for the club.[1] Based in the Perth suburb of Midland, the team drew the majority of their players from workers at the Midland Junction railway station and workshops. The club was one of the most unsuccessful in the WAFL's history, winning only 24.8% of the matches they contested.[1]
