Mount Gambier railway line
The Mount Gambier railway line was a railway built in 1887. It was built to narrow gauge and joined the Mount Gambier railway station, which was at that time the eastern terminus of a line to Millicent, South Australia. It connected at Naracoorte to another isolated narrow gauge line joining Naracoorte to Kingston SE, and to the broad gauge Adelaide-Wolseley railway at Wolseley, at around the same time that was extended to Serviceton to become the South Australian part of the Melbourne–Adelaide railway.
A broad gauge line from Heywood, Victoria joined at Mount Gambier in 1917. The line was converted to broad gauge (to match both ends) in the 1950s. When the Melbourne-Adelaide railway was converted to Standard gauge in 1995, this line was not converted, and ceased operating instead. Part of it was used for a while by the Limestone Coast Railway tourist service, but this also closed in 2006.
==History==
The railway connecting Mount Gambier to Naracoorte was initially approved by the Parliament of South Australia in 1867 to be built to gauge. However it was not built at this time, and that act was repealed by a later authorisation in 1884 to build it on the same alignment to gauge. It opened on 16 June 1887.
In 1904, a branch line was constructed from Wandilo, north of Mount Gambier, to Glencoe. The branch was decommissioned in 1959.
