Moira my great uncle Edward Cottrell is listed as an employee of the tramways. It doesn’t indicate what position or years of employment. He seems to have had a few jobs over the years. Having worked on the woodline , as a truck driver on the mines in Kalgoorlie , in a munitions factory in Kalgoorlie during the war and probably other jobs. He ended up dead in the bush at Roeburne in 1946, with a bullet to the head. I don’t know if it was an accident, suicide or murder.
