|} The Eugowra railway line is a closed railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The branch line joins the Blayney-Demondrille line at Cowra.〔http://www.nswrail.net/lines/show.php?name=NSW:eugowra NSWrail.net - Eugowra Branch〕 == Construction == The Cowra to Canowindra Railway Act was passed on 15 December 1908. Land acquisitions proceeded rapidly, with the first sod of the new lined turned at Cowra West on 11 January 1909. John Bradfield, who went on to design the Sydney Harbour Bridge, prepared layout plans as assistant engineer on the project.〔Historical Society of Canowindra - The Canowindra Railway Story〕 The line was built to so-called "pioneer" standards - earth ballasted with no fences.〔 The branch line to Canowindra was opened with great fanfare on 4 July 1910. The opening of the line proved an economic boon to the town, with Canowindra's population increasing from 400 prior to 1900, to 1500 and rising in 1911.〔 An extension to Eugowra was opened on 11 December 1922. A further extension to link up with the Main Western Line was approved in 1924, but never built.〔 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「Eugowra railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
