Southbridge Branch, New Zealand
The Southbridge Branch was a branch line railway that formed part of New Zealand's national rail network. It was located in the Canterbury region of the South Island and operated from 1875 until 1967. Four kilometres of the line remains open as the Hornby Branch, formerly the Hornby Industrial Line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hornby Branch )〕
== Construction ==
On 2 November 1870, the Canterbury provincial government resolved to build a line from Rolleston to Southbridge, as the district around Lake Ellesmere had become an economically significant grain-growing region that produced almost a quarter of all wheat in New Zealand in the late 1860s. However, by April 1872, the decision had been taken to establish the junction with the Main South Line in Hornby and work began on the line's formation.
Financial difficulties and delays in acquiring materials slowed construction initially, but on 26 April 1875, the line was opened to Springston. This gave the line a length of 17.74 km. On 13 July 1875, the rest of the line to Southbridge was opened, giving the branch a total length of 41.02 km. In 1880, construction of a sub-branch line off the Southbridge Branch to Little River from Lincoln began; this became the Little River Branch.
