	Travel In Australia
		From the opening of the railways in 1855 until the erection of the bridge in 1889, the line from Sydney to Newcastle, a port a hundred miles north of the capital and the second city of the State, was divided by the river.
		The first railway was opened in 1871 between Launceston, in the north of the island, and Deloraine, to the west, and was forty-five miles in length.
		The line is remarkable for the views its affords, as it follows the gorges of the Great King River, giving vistas of awesome canyons and magnificent forests of beech trees, with grass-trees, ferns, berries and wild flowers in profusion.

		When she died large crowds lined the streets of the funeral procession which conveyed her from Melbourne to Lilydale where it was met by a guard of honour who conveyed the hearse to a gun carriage and from there to the Lilydale cemetery where she was laid to rest in a family plot.

		The Railways Department later planned a new Flinders Street Station extending from Russell to Queen Streets, with connection to Spencer Street over a viaduct and platforms at Flinders Street to serve Williamstown, Essendon and Coburg line trains.
		In 1889, the Railway Commissioners arranged a competition for the design of a new station, and 17 entries were received.
		The old Port Melbourne and St Kilda line platform verandah was far too good to throw away, so the department had it dismantled and re-erected at Hawthorn, which in those days, was a much busier station.

	Myth: We'd have to spend heaps of money on infrastructure
		These all help feed the related myth that rail lines cost more to build than freeways; as we explain on that page, Perth's new rail lines are being built for much less money, and for substantially less cost than freeways.
		But the Dandenong line is longer than the Sandringham line, hence the ongoing claims that this line can't sustain a mixture of express and stopping trains at nearly the same capacity without a separate track for the express trains.
		Vancouver recently built a light rail line (that is, a tram, not a train) to a part of the city that was thought not to have enough patronage to justify another Skytrain service.
