Newport–Sunshine railway line
The Newport-Sunshine line is a railway line in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Linking Newport station on the Werribee line to Sunshine station on the Sunbury line, it is a primarily freight only line with no overhead wires, passenger stations or platforms.
==History==
The line was opened on 24 September 1887 to permit freight trains from the western and northern areas of Victoria to access the then important port at Williamstown. It was 4.29 miles long,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VR History )〕 it is also known as the Brooklyn Loop line, for the intermediate signal box on the line. Initially it was not possible for trains to run from Brooklyn into Melbourne via Tottenham, with the connection not added until the 1960s.
Between Newport and Brooklyn the line was provided with bidirectional double track lines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newport to Sunshine signalling diagram 1968 )〕 By the 1930s a number of private sidings were opened off the line to serve adjacent industries. Today the majority of them have closed. In 1995 the East Line was converted to dual gauge as part of the standardisation of the Melbourne-Adelaide railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VICSIG - Infrastructure: Tottenham - Dynon )〕
