3 September to November 2016 Edition
Volume – 23 Number – 3 September to November 2016 Edition The Nyora / Wonthaggi line carried its first coal to Melbourne on 22 February 1910 from the State Coal Mine. The mine was established by the Victorian Government in response to a prolonged coal strike during 1909 in the privately owned coalfields of New South Wales where most of the coal for the Victorian Railways was sourced. Work began on extending the railway line 22km from Woolamai in December 1909 and reached the coal shafts in 10 weeks. Approximately a third of the line was temporary, particularly in the vicinity of Kilcunda, with sharp curves and grades as steep as 1 in 28. Initially only every third sleeper was laid and the track was unballasted, (see image) restricting train speeds to 16km/hr and the locomotives that could be used to W class or lighter. The permanent track was not opened until over a year later on 10 April 1911. Conversion from steam to diesel-electric power during the 1950s and 1960s reduced demand for black coal and in 1968 the mines closed. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1977 and the line closed in 1978. The track was dismantled in 1988 and the line between Anderson and Wonthaggi has since been transformed into the Bass Coast Rail Trail. Two locomotives with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement were obtained from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia in 1880 (later known as the W class). Their axle load of 8 tons 17 cwt gave the class unrestricted route availability throughout Victoria and they were used widely during the construction of new railway lines from 1890 to 1920. -

Electrification of Melbourne's Suburban Railway Network
Engineers Australia Engineering Heritage Victoria Nomination Engineering Heritage Australia Heritage Recognition Program Electrification of Melbourne’s Suburban Railway Network APRIL 2019 2 1. Introduction The first steam locomotive hauled passenger train service in Australia commenced operation from the site of the present Flinders Street station to Port Melbourne in 1854 under the privately owned Melbourne & Hobsons Bay Railway Company. Other suburban railway lines were constructed in the succeeding years by both private companies and by the Victorian Railways Department that was established by the State Government in 1856. By 1878 all railway lines and train operations in Victoria were consolidated within the Victorian Railways Department. The VR continued to expand railway services both within the growing Melbourne metropolitan area and regional Victoria. By the turn of the century, the suburban railway network included most of the present lines radiating out from the CBD stations along with some interconnecting lines and they were serving the expanding city with commuter trains hauled by steam locomotives. After several assessments and deferments the Victorian Government resolved in 1912 to proceed with electrification of the suburban network. Work on this commenced in the following year, however progress was impeded by the First World War, particularly in respect to the supply of critical imported plant and equipment. In May 1919, the first regular passenger electric train services commenced on the Sandringham and Essendon suburban railway lines. By 1923, this ambitious project for electrification of the suburban railway lines was effectively completed. At the time, it was claimed to be the largest suburban railway network in the world to be successfully converted from steam locomotive to electric traction. -
