Re: Vicrail rail closures
I have some for you, when I get the opportunity, I shall go through my
back issues of Newsrail and Rail News Victoria to see if I can find any
more for you. Unless otherwise noted, all dates are taken from the 1st
edition of the 'Melbourne's Metropolitan Railway System 1854-1994' (c)
Stephen Watson and Ian Johnson, available Railfan Shop in Market Street,
Melbourne.
