	Upfield railway line, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Upfield railway line is a suburban electric railway in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
		The future of the line was in serious doubt in the late 1980s and early 1990s with proposals for the line to be converted into a light rail line or even closed.
		However, the future of the line was secured in 1994 with the upgrading of the signalling, closure or upgrade of the numerous level crossings, and duplication of the track between Merlynston and Gowrie.

	April 2005 - Railways and their Effects
		The logical progression from this was to extend these lines of rails to places not served by the rivers and canals, until they ultimately displaced barges as a bulk transport mode, and their present role of conveying the product direct from the mine to their particular market began.
		Many look at railways as primarily people movers, the which they are very efficient at; but in reality from the start and throughout the ages, cartage of all manner of goods is their major role, and in fact the only one that enables railways to make any sort of return on monies invested.
		As well, in places such as Korumburra, where the railway ran alongside the cemetery, and in winter the roads were just a bog, and thus impassable, funerals were conducted by loading the coffin onto a railway trolley, and wheeling it from the town to the cemetery, with the mourners walking along the track behind it.

	Parklands Albury Wodonga - News - Latest News - Vintage rail's new future as a recreational trail
		Planned to eventually extend from Wodonga to Cudgewa — and provide access to Lake Hume and historic old Tallangatta, plus superb views of the Upper Murray and the Alps — the Rail Trail will ensure something of a metamorphosis for a branch line started in 1887 and officially closed on 1 March 1981.

		The Hume Highway through Albury is a National Highway and, as such, the Federal Government is responsible for funding its maintenance and improvement.
		The panel also compared Albury and Wodonga (populations 42,500 and 31,500 respectively) with other towns along the Hume Highway such as Goulburn in NSW (21,500) and Wangaratta in Victoria (20,000).
		The panel concluded that to describe Albury as a country town or to compare it with other bypassed towns is inappropriate because of its size, location, and importance as an industrial and residential centre which give it regional significance these other towns do not possess.
