	Puffing Billy Railway, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The railway was originally one of four experimental narrow gauge lines of the Victorian Railways opened around the beginning of the 20th century.
		The railway aims to preserve the line as far as possible as it was in the first three decades of its existence, but with particular emphasis on the early 1920s.
		Today the railway operates daily (except for Christmas day) as a popular tourist activity over 15 miles (24km) with original steam engines, and is operated with some of the railway practices from the Victorian Railways 1900 to 1930 era, such as using the "Staff and Ticket" safeworking method and having conductors on board the trains.

	Walhalla Goldfields Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The railway was expected to be a boon for the town, which was in a state of economic and population decline due to gold mining operations becoming increasingly uneconomical, the largest gold mining company closing in 1914.
		The railway was closed in sections from 1944-54, the section from Platina to Walhalla closing in March 1944 and the final section from Moe to Erica eventually closing on June 25th 1954.
		While the railway has drawn some uninformed criticism for deviation from historical accuracy regarding its rolling stock, the collection is a significant piece of industrial railway history, and the WGR provides a valuable tourist train service for the local economy.
