Description

The Victorian Railways narrow gauge lines portrayed the very essence of the Australian pioneering spirit, with their ingeniously constructed routes traversing picturesque, forested and rugged country. Built in the era of the horse and cart, when railways had a monopoly over the conveyance of freight and passenger alike, the narrow gauge lines served their purpose, before being rapidly overtaken by road transport. With their toy-like appearance, the little trains were beloved by children, and this factor was to bring about their salvation. Through the valiant actions of a few spirited individuals, Victoria's narrow gauge heritage lives on, with the re-born Gembrook and Walhalla lines among the most revered and admired railways in Australia.
