Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tocumwal is a closed railway station in the town of Tocumwal, New South Wales, Australia. It was once the break-of-gauge between the broad gauge Victorian Railways Tocumwal line from the south and the standard gauge New South Wales Government Railways Tocumwal line from the north, but only the line from Victoria is opened today.Local agitation for a railway to Tocumwal dates as far back as 1899 when a deputation visited Melbourne, with the Minister for Railways supporting the project. The railway line from Strathmerton was opened to the south bank of the Murray River at Tocumwal on 28 February 1905. However the railway was not extended north into Tocumwal itself and the current station until 1908, due to the lack of agreement between the two state governments. Later broad gauge lines into New South Wales were built under the 1922 Border Railways Act.
