Craigieburn railway line
The Craigieburn railway line is the suburban electric railway inner section of the main North East railway line serving the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. It has 15 stations across Myki ticketing zones 1 and 2. Prior to electrification it was called the Broadmeadows railway line.
== Description ==
The line rises steadily after leaving North Melbourne until after Essendon, then drops a little to cross Moonee Ponds Creek, and soon after encounters the ''Glenroy Bank'', a continuous rising gradient of 1 in 50 for nearly that taxed locomotive-hauled trains in the days of steam. After Glenroy, it continues to rise to the end of the suburban line and beyond. Earthworks are, however, generally moderate.
The almost-continuous gradients were a factor when, in 2003, an unmanned suburban train rolled the length of the line from Broadmeadows to the city, and crashed into a stationary but loaded passenger train waiting to depart Southern Cross Station (then Spencer Street). No one was killed or seriously injured.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eleven injured in runaway train drama )〕
