	MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
		Port Melbourne is also home to one end of the West Gate Bridge, the main gateway between east and west Melbourne over the Yarra River.
		Houses in Port Melbourne range from colonial single-fronted wooden worker's cottages to new apartments and housing developments, and Port Melbourne has undergone a major demographic shift in the past twenty years, from one of the cheapest and poorest suburbs in the city to one of the most expensive and wealthiest.
		Port Melbourne now blends significant amounts of wealthy people with those who live in the numerous Public housing developements, and other 'old port' locals; large numbers of immigrants who arrived at Station Pier and settled, primarily those of Greek background, and new immigrants from Africa and Asia.

	Chapter 5: The Railway Age, 1874-1920 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The first line, from Ipswich to Toowoomba, soon was extended east to Brisbane and by 1880 as far west as Roma with a southwestern branch which then reached Stanthorpe, and would be extended to meet the New South Wales northern line at the border at Wallangarra in 1889.
		The Queensland Railways were not really deficient until exposed to the stress of the Pacific War between 1941 and 1945, when it became clear that their light standards were as inadequate for the defence of the country as they were for intense economic development.
		The new railways carried goods and passengers far more economically than the coaches and drays they replaced, but the difference in speed was not as dramatic as it had been in the wilder terrain of the eastern colonies.

	Melbourne - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)

	Railway Electrification in Melbourne
		As the Melbourne suburban lines were built originally for and are still operated by steam locomotives, we are chiefly concerned with the electric railways in the second group.
		In this connection, it must be mentioned that there are many lines in the world to-day operated by steam locomotives on which there is a much heavier train movement than on any of our suburban lines, and that the administration of these lines have not yet deemed it advisable to adopt electric traction for them.
		The value of the steam locomotives and coaches relieved from the St. Kilda and Port Melbourne lines (having due regard to their condition and their suitability for service on other lines) would be a credit to the cost of the electrification of these lines, and the interest charges be reduced accordingly.

	Present: Melbourne-W's all over (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		By 1920, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board had taken over all cable car lines and tramway trusts, and the celebrated W-class drop-center trams, which were to become a symbol of Melbourne, were introduced in 1925.
		By 1940, the last cable car lines were converted to electric traction, and for nearly four decades the friendly green/cream trams trundled about their business, largely through the stewardship of Sir Robert Risson, who defended tram operation against hostile sources badgering for replacement.
		All in all, a visit to Melbourne and its trams is a truly rewarding experience, and its people go out of their way to help visitors enjoy their unique city and transportation experience.

	Washington Vintage Trolley Systems by John Smatlak
		It utilizes a former freight line through the city's central waterfront district as well as a.4 mile extension in city streets to reach the International District, where it connects with the downtown transit tunnel and the Amtrak station, and is a short walk away from the new ballpark.
		Despite the fact that much of the waterfront district served by the line is paralleled by a very ugly double-deck concrete freeway, the area is humming with pedestrians and commercial activity.
		The locals are very proud of their streetcar line, and that's reflected in the manner in which the line is operated.

	Future: MSR's vision for the E-line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Thanks to advocacy years ago by Market Street Railway, Delancey Street Foundation, and others, the E-line connector track is already in place between the Muni Metro light rail line on the southern Embarcadero and the F-line tracks from the Ferry Building north.
		But a comprehensive vision for the line is especially timely now, in the wake of the passage of Regional Measure 2 by voters in seven Bay Area counties on March 2, 2004.
		Market Street Railway’s vision for the E-line reinforces this legacy by proposing to primarily operate the line—at least during visitor season—with the most venerable streetcars in Muni’s historic fleet, which hail from such great port cities as Hamburg, New Orleans, Porto (Portugal), Melbourne, Osaka and Kobe/Hiroshima, and maritime nations such as Italy, England, and Russia.
