	Illawarra railway line, Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Illawarra and Eastern Suburbs Line is located in Sydney, Australia, in CityRail's metropolitan and south coast network, and has two branches, one to Cronulla and the other to Waterfall.
		The Illawarra line is joined to the South Coast line at Waterfall which extends the CityRail network outside the metropolitan area to Dapto in the south, then continuing to Kiama, then the Shoalhaven region.
		The line was made in the mid 1800s to transport people living in Wollongong ("the Gong") to the city of Sydney.

		It services almost all of the lines on the CityRail network, and is the major terminus for interurban and interstate rail services.
		Central is also the terminus of Sydney's only light rail line, and many major bus services depart from adjacent Eddy Avenue, Chalmers Street or from Railway Square on George Street, accessible through the Devonshire Street Tunnel, which crosses directly under the rail station from the suburban lines.
		Construction commenced in 1948 but the underground railway line was not finished until 1979.

		During the construction of the second section of the Illawarra railway line a camp was established at the 26 mile peg where the village of Cawley was laid out.
		Illawarra was the native name for the area which early explorers and settlers referred to as the "Five Islands District".
		The Australian Museum affirms that Illawarra means "high place near the sea" and was derived from the language of the Wodi Wodi Tribe which inhabited the area between Wollongong and the Shoalhaven River.

		It was suggested as a loop line between St. Peters and Liverpool, to relieve congestion on the main western and southern railway.
		The railway station was initially to be called "St. George", but after objections from communities on the Illawarra Line, it was changed to "Belmore", as it was the closest station to the settled district around Belmore Road (now Punchbowl).
		The line was extended to Bankstown in 1909.

		For example, the Shinkansen lines in Japan are laid in a country be,set by typhoons and earthquakes - yet in more than 20 years and millions of train movements they have never lost a train.
		New lines were operated under freight traffic alone, so that their embankments could settle before passenger traffic was allowed at express speed.
		On the 914mm gauge Burtonport Extension line of the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway in County Donegal, Eire, since closed, a train was blown off the rails on the relatively low but exposed Owencarrow viaduct on 30 January 1925.

		Between the head of navigation of the Woronora River and Bulli on the Illawarra coast the line marked out did not cross a single watercourse, and was remarkably straight, according to Mitchell, who estimated it was twenty miles shorter than the old route.
		Surveyor Darke proposed a new line of road to the illawarra, and this was cleared of timber to within two miles of the line down Bulli in July 1844.
		The name of the road is shown on many official documents as the Illawarra Road until the end of the nineteenth century, however it was usually known as the Gannons Forest Road until the 1880's when it was commonly called Forest Road.

		The result was a deferral of planned new lines while work is undertaken to eliminate bottlenecks and train path conflicts, as well as to segregate the operating areas.
		The government has now decided that new heavy rail lines will not be built to the north-west and south-west of Sydney until the population has grown and the present network is operating satisfactorily.
		A new line still being built is that from Epping to Chatswood, the eastern end of which was intended to extend to Parramatta.

	Christie Report 5
		The first stage of this line might be the section along the F6 corridor to the airport's international terminal, initially with light rail operation and later with heavy rail.
		The physical separation of these (or similar) new lines from the existing rail network (and from its augmentations and extensions over the next two decades) is an important principle and vital to the long-term future of rail.
		The solution of physically separating the new lines as much as possible, as illustrated in Figures 5.5 and 5.8, is already widely practised in large cities overseas which have been faced with analogous situations.

	State Rail was divided operationally by the Greiner Goverment into Cityrail and Countrylink around 1988
		There are some other oddities of the naming of the tables: the western line is referred to as the Emu Plains line and the current south lines as the Macarthur lines, curious as these two stations are the minor end stations with a relatively lower service level than say Campbelltown or Penrith.
		However the Blue Mountains line is not the Lithgow line, but the Southern Highlands line is the Goulburn Line.
		Of note: the North Shore line table is pink despite being red/ yellow on maps, station signs etc, and is of large size.

		The Bondi Junction project, to be completed by July 2005, also is expected to allow an extra 12,000 passengers to travel the length of the eastern suburbs-Illawarra line, from Wollongong and Sutherland to Bondi Junction.
		Another four lines will have duplications, turnbacks and other work done to ease congestion and allow them to operate independently from the rest of the network - meaning a problem on one line will not have a ripple effect throughout the whole system.
		The final system will have the Illawarra line, the Bankstown line, a Campbelltown express line, an East Hills and Liverpool line and a north-west line functioning autonomously.
