Wensleydale railway line (Australia)
The Wensleydale railway line was a railway branch line in Victoria, Australia. It ran for approximately 18 km from the Port Fairy railway line near Moriac, to Wensleydale, Victoria. It was opened in March 1890 and was used to transport firewood, gravel and brown coal out of the area. Apart from troop trains during World War II the line saw very little traffic and was closed in 1948.[1]

gollark: Wait, presupposes that *god* can do that (which is required if said god is omnipotent), or that *people* can get future information?
gollark: Oh, and if you can get answers on yes/no questions about the future that also allows you to transmit information backward through time, obviously.
gollark: If you could tell the future that way, there would already be autodivinators (or, if you can't do that, many minimum-wage people flipping coins) used for picking stocks.
gollark: (if it's *not*, then the chance of getting two heads or two tails is... a half, anyway)
gollark: *can't tell if bizarre joke or not*
