Berrima railway line
The Berrima railway line is a partly closed private railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It was a short branch from the Main South line to serve the Berrima Colliery.
== Early history ==
The line started life as a coal railway, built by the Berrima Coal Mining and Railway Company in 1881. That company opened a coal mine in the gorge of the Wingecarribee River, about 6 miles (9.65 km) west of Moss Vale and built a standard gauge line to a point above the gorge. It joined the Main Southern Railway at a point 1.5 miles north of Moss Vale, then known as Austermere and later as Bong Bong. The railway crossed the Great Southern Road, later Hume Highway, on the level. At the colliery end, coal was brought up an incline from the mine which laid across the Wingecarribee River.
Motive power on the railway was a locomotive hired from the NSWGR and it was driven by the Company's driver.
Following the loss of contracts to Victorian Railways, the company went into liquidation about 1889.〔''The Railways of Berrima'' Matthews, H.H. Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, February, 1959 pp21-24〕
