Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Roxburgh Park is a suburban railway station located on the Craigieburn railway line on Thomas Brunton Parade (near Somerton Road) in Roxburgh Park, Victoria, Australia. Built on the site of the former Somerton station which closed to passengers in 1960, the adjacent goods yard and standard gauge crossing loop retain the Somerton name. Somerton opened to traffic as a single platform on 15 May 1881. In 1889 Somerton became a junction, when what is now the Upfield line was opened from North Melbourne station northwards though Coburg. This line was closed to traffic from the Somerton end in 1903. The line though Coburg, then terminated at Fawkner station, was reopened in 1928 but no junction was provided at Somerton, instead the A.E.C. railmotor that operated the service used a turntable to the south of the station. This situation remained until 1956 when the line from Fawkner was again closed.
