Picturesque Atlas - Victoria - Central District - Part 1 It is at this point that the railway from Melbourne to Echuca attains its greatest elevation, and the line can be quitted at the Woodend or at the Macedon station for the purpose of exploring the more accessible portions of the mountain. The first of these routes diverges from the trunk line at Braybrook, a station lying at some distance from the village, in which the manufacture of dynamite and other explosive compounds is carried on, as is pretty plainly indicated by the gunpowder waggons which are passed on the way. The railway descends a couple of hundred feet before reaching Musk Creek, a rudimentary settlement where a considerable area of fine agricultural land has been reclaimed from the forest, and is now being, brought under cultivation. www.geocities.com /toby_meares/048.htm   (3072 words)

Melbourne's Tramway History. The second electric tramway in Melbourne's suburbs was opened on the 11th October 1906 and ran from Flemington Bridge (near the terminus of the North Melbourne cable tram route) to Essendon, with a branch to Saltwater River (Now Maribyrnong River) and a short spur along Puckle St Moonee Ponds, to Moonee Ponds railway station. The first tramway to operate in Melbourne was an isolated line from Fairfield railway station. The lease of the cable trams by the Melbourne Tramways and Omnibus Co. expired on 30th June, 1916 and it was decided to appoint an interim Melbourne Tramways Trust to operate the system until it was decided what to do about the growing problems of street passenger transport in the Melbourne metropolitan area. www.geocities.com /z_class/tramhistory.html   (3222 words)

TMSV: VR electric street railways The lines were to run from Sandringham station along the coast road to Beaumaris and thence inland to Cheltenham railway station, with a branch from Beaumaris continuing down the coast road to Mordialloc. The body of 35 was recovered for restoration by SPER (South Pacific Electric Railway) (stored at Bylands — 2003), and finally the TMSV has been in possession of the body of 34 since closure of the Brighton line. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways recommended an extension of the railway to South Sandringham in 1910, but this was later vetoed as a result of the projected high cost of land resumptions. www.tmsv.org.au /papers/vrtram.htm   (2987 words)

Transport planning and projects - Southland Railway Station feasibility study The State Government is evaluating the feasibility of establishing a new railway station at Southland, Cheltenham to help improve public transport patronage in suburban Melbourne. However, a new station would add one minute to the journey time between Melbourne and Frankston, and initial estimates predict the cost of constructing a new station would be between $10 and $14 million. The initial study concluded that the feasibility of a future railway station would depend on land use in the surrounding area and how it is integrated into the public transport network. www.doi.vic.gov.au /doi/internet/planningprojects.nsf/AllDocs/6D0FB321144F64F7CA256F43001D71B1?OpenDocument   (249 words)

MACDONALD, PLAN FOR AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL The Central Railway Station, being situated at the 1845 feet level (rail level), commands the whole city, and the underground tram lines could follow the routes of the avenues, and at no great death from their surfaces. The main railway mall, 300 feet wide, would be on the 1865 or 1870 feet level, several depressions in the mall and abutting blocks being filled up from the spoil obtained in excavating the site for the Central Station. This featured half of an octagonal street complex with the railway station as its center and--eight blocks away at the other end of a wide boulevard--another district composed of concentric semi­circles surrounding the "Civic, Commercial, and Technical School Centre." Six "Residential and Shopping Centres" provided focal points for as many neighborhoods. www.library.cornell.edu /Reps/DOCS/macdonal.htm   (4528 words)
