	Puffing Billy
		The present line between Belgrave and Gembrook is all that remains of the 29 km (18 mile), 762 mm (2'6") gauge line which operated between Upper Ferntree Gully and Gembrook from 1900 to 1953.
		Public interest in the line resulted in the formation of the Puffing Billy Preservation Society which, with the blessings of the Victorian Railways and the assistance of the Citizens' Military Forces, succeeded in by-passing the landslide and reopening the line as far as Menzies Creek in 1962.
		The line was subsequently restored and reopened to Emerald in 1965, extended to Lakeside in 1975, and then in 1988, rebuilt and reopened to Cockatoo and Gembrook.
