The Eaglehawk–Inglewood line is a freight only railway in northern Victoria, Australia. It links the Piangil line to the Robinvale and Kulwin lines. It was opened in 1876.[1]

Operations

The line operates using the Train Order Working system of safeworking. A crossing loop is provided at Bridgewater. The maximum speed limit is 50 km/h, with all mainline locomotives permitted, albeit with some speed restrictions.[2] The line was booked out of service in May 2007.[1]

Flood damage in January 2011 resulted in several sections of track suffering ballast wash aways as well as bridge damage which has not been fixed (as at July 2018).

Sections of rail near Bridgewater have been pulled up to be reused in several Standard Gauge conversion projects in that part of Victoria.
