The lines were closed in late 1977. Hamilton - Penshurst - Warrnambool was
closed on 12/9/77 (last through train ran 7/2/77) and Hamilton Coleraine
closed on the same day (last train 11/8/77)

 The Coleraine and Penshurst lines departed from a place known as Coleraine
Junction which was about a kilometer south of Hamilton.
