The Brewarrina railway line is a closed branch railway line in far-western New South Wales, Australia. It joined the Main West Line at Byrock with the town of Brewarrina on the Darling River. It was 93.67 km long. == Construction == The residents of Brewarrina realised the benefit of a railway connection and presented a petition to the Minister for Public Works in September, 1881, for a railway to be connected to their town from Byrock. At that date, the Western Line had only reached Dubbo and its extension to Nyngan was under construction. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works recommended on 22 June 1898 that the proposed Byrock to Brewarrina branch line should be built, subject to a levee being paid by Crown Lands Lessees in the area served by the proposed line. The line opened as far as Tarrion Creek in July, 1900 and was completed to Brewarrina on 2 September 1901.〔Roundhouse New South Wales Rail Transport Museum July, 1988 p27〕 An unusual feature of this line was the method of construction of the associated telephone line for railway use. To save expense the telephone wire, instead of installation on raised poles was fixed to short pegs nailed to the side of the sleepers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brewarrina railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
