Railway over Yarra River.

["Garry Hoddinett" <hoddos@netspace.net.au>]

When in Melbourne a couple of months ago I noticed from the Rialto Towers
Observation Deck a single track railway bridge to the south over the Yarra
River.  The line now seems to be truncated for the construction of the
Docklands Stadium.  Where did the line go to and why was it removed?  It
seems stupid these days to sever rail connections to a city's port.  In
speaking to a person who works for PO in Sydney he said a rail connection to
their Rozelle port is seen as one of their best marketing assets.
