The Unanderra – Moss Vale railway line is a cross country railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The line branches from the Illawarra line at Unanderra and winds west up the Illawarra escarpment to join the Main South line at Moss Vale. The line is one of the most scenic in New South Wales, and for the first 20 km after leaving Unanderra has an almost continuous grade 1 in 30 providing spectacular view over the Illawarra coastline. ==Route== The line is 57 kilometres in length, and is double track from Unanderra to Dombarton. The line then becomes single track with several crossing loops. Legacies of the abandoned Maldon – Dombarton railway line that was partly built in the 1980s are a bridge over the old Princes Highway at Unanderra, double track section to Dombarton and unfinished electrification masts.〔"Dombarton-Unanderra Changes" ''Railway Digest'' June 1987 page 170〕 The single track bridge at Dombarton was recycled in February 1992, being installed on the Lavender Bay branch of the North Shore line at Waverton.〔(Lavender Bay Railway Group ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕〔"From Dombarton to Waverton" ''Railway Digest'' April 1992 page 139〕 The line connects the following current and former passenger stations: *Unanderra - junction with Illawarra line *Dombarton - end of double line (formerly the site of an unusual crossing loop arrangement)〔''Dombarton Crossing Station'' ''Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin'' August 1943 pp15-16〕 *Summit Tank (platform only) (crossing loop) *Mount Murray (closed) (crossing loop reopened 1980s) *Ocean View (closed 1968) *Ranelagh House (platform only) *Robertson (platform) (crossing loop) *Burrawang (closed 1975) *Calwalla (closed 1976) (crossing loop reopened 1980s) *Moss Vale - triangular junction with Main South line 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「Unanderra – Moss Vale railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
