 | | The line was electrified for traction from Heidelberg to Eltham on Sunday, 15th April 1923, and the remainder was switched on from Eltham to Hurstbridge on Monday, 2nd August 1926. |
 | | The line was frequented by the E and occasional L class electric locomotives, Taits, dog-boxes and CM parcels motors (all loosely but endearingly classified as "Red Rattlers") on freight work to and from the old Spur line at Mont Park (Junctured at Macleod), Hurstbridge, and the old APM siding to the Paper Mill at Fairfield. |
 | | The Hurstbridge line was also home to the double-ended single carriage Swing-door cars, which were suburban Motor units modified by the VR Newport Workshops for suburban use to Hurstbridge, Alamein, Lilydale and what was then the Port Melbourne and St Kilda Rail lines, in off-peak times. |
