Wahgunyah railway line
The Wahgunyah railway is a closed railway line in the north-east of Victoria, Australia. Branching off the main North East railway at Springhurst, it ran north to Wahgunyah. The terminus was near the New South Wales Culcairn - Corowa railway, but no bridge was ever provided over the Murray River. As the two lines were of differing gauges and the stations 2.5 kilometres (1.25 miles) apart there was probably no particular benefit for the expense of building a bridge to connect the two differing systems.
==History==
The line was opened as a whole from Springhurst to Wahgunyah in 1879.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VICSIG - Infrastructure - Line Data Wahgunyah line )〕 The passenger service was withdrawn on 13 April 1962, being the last mixed train service to operate in Victoria.
Services were suspended in 1995,〔 and the line effectively closed. However the 'Green TRail Associates Group' operated a trolley service over the line between Wahgunyah and Rutherglen for a number of years, known as the 'Stringybark Express - Lil Red Postal Motor'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rutherglen Train, Stringybark Express )〕 In 2002 the line was handed back to the Victorian Government by lease holder Freight Australia,〔 and in 2006 it was announced that the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail would be built along the closed line, with 9 kilometres of trail. This was completed in 2009.
