Most of the line was closed in 1953, with the remaining section to Yarram continuing in use until 1987. ==History== The Woodside Line branched off the former South Gippsland line or ''Great Southern Railway'', at Alberton Station. The line was well known for its sharp curves and spectacular scenery. It was also one of the last lines to offer a mixed passenger and goods service in Victoria. The Woodside railway line was one of the last major branch lines to be constructed by the Victorian Railways. The line opened in 3 stages. The first, to Yarram, was opened on 8 February 1921, the second stage, to Won Wron, on 16 December 1921, and the third stage, on 22 June 1923, to Woodside.〔''Some Notes on South Gippsland Passenger Services 1921-1923'' McLean, Jack Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, June/July 1990; pp. 141-147, 167-168〕 The line continued in its initial configuration until 26 May 1953 when it was closed from Yarram to Woodside. The section of the branch to Yarram remained open until 26 October 1987 shortly after which the line was closed back to Welshpool. After the closure to Welshpool the line sat idle until 1994 when it was dismantled and then converted to the Great Southern Rail Trail. 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「Woodside railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
