A look around at the old rushworth railway line


The Rushworth line was a short branch line used predominantly for grain traffic which branched off the Goulbourn Valley Line at Murchison East with trains having to reverse when travelling from Melbourne to Colbinabbin. The line like many others closed in the late 1980s.
