Echuca railway station is the terminal station of the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Echuca.〔(Rochester ) Vicsig〕 It is the terminus for V/Line services from Melbourne. Beyond Echuca the line continues to Deniliquin. Freight sidings and a silo exist opposite the station. ==History== The railway reached Echuca in 1864 and transformed the town into a major river port, with the opening of the Echuca Wharf and substantial urban growth in the 1870s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Echuca-Moama Road Rail Bridge over Murray River )〕 In 1876 the Deniliquin and Moama Railway Company opened their long private railway northwards to Deniliquin. The brick station building at Echuca was provided on opening of the line, along with a double gable roofed brick goods shed, and three road locomotive depot. The station building was expanded in 1877, a large water tower being erected in the same year, and the iron footbridge was added in 1880. The concrete rail bridge over the Murray River to the north of the station opened in 1989, replacing a road and rail bridge opened in 1878.〔 A short branch line between Echuca and the port opened with the line, but was closed in 1971. In 2000, $150,000 funding for the reconstruction of the line was provided. By 2002 work was underway, with the cost increased to $330,000. However, by 2007 the branch was out of use and disconnected from the main line. The line north of Echuca closed in 2007 but was reopened in October 2013.〔(Coalition government reopens Echuca to Toolamba line for rail freight ) Premier of Victoria 3 October 2013〕〔(Echuca to Toolamba reopens ) ''Rail Express'' 9 October 2013〕 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「Echuca railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
