Heathcote railway line

The Heathcote Railway line was a railway line linking Bendigo and Heathcote Junction. It was opened in 1888, and, by 1890 it was fully operational.[1] It was partially closed in 1958 and fully closed in 1968.

In 1975 it was chosen to dismantle the railway line and today, only several trestle bridges remain.[2]

History

The line was authorised in 1881, and construction began in 1888. The first section between Kilmore and Bendigo opened in 1888, and the entire line was operational in 1890. This line, including 50 bridges, took 21 months to complete at a cost of 88,409 pounds, and two derailments in the process.[3]

gollark: I'd say it's Discord's fault - assuming this is true of course, I haven't seen it tested - for implementing such an awful system.

gollark: Since apparently the idea is that the restricted channels would still be visible to everyone but approved-submitter-only, you could maybe do *roles* for "knows lasers" and stuff and ask people to check that before offering advice on some things. Though you'd have to have that be checked manually, unlike with a channel.

gollark: It seems like there's kind of an excess of channels even *now*, without that in place.

gollark: Maybe written with pictures could work for some of that.
