You don't even need to leave Perth to see those trains. Sitting somewhere like Midland train station you're likely to see them, or drive around the Kewdale rail yards.

Pacific National have 4 trains departing every day: Chullora (Sydney), Brisbane, Melbourne, and Fishermans Island in Queensland. The Melbourne and Chullora train service also stops over in adelaide briefly.
As someone has said before.. we would be screwed without the freight trains.. AND TRUCKIES!
