The Upper Darling Range Railway (also known as the 'Upper Darling Range Branch') was a branch railway from Midland Junction, Western Australia, that rose up the southern side of the Helena Valley and on to the Darling Scarp via the 'Kalamunda Zig Zag section' (referring to the section of line in Gooseberry Hill). At the time of construction it was the only section of railway in Western Australia to have had a zig zag formation.
