: 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.

It was the web dock line, now removed (partly) because of the Dockland 
footy ground.  It was opened 3-12-86.
