The Yallourn railway line was a broad gauge branch railway from the main Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. Operated by the Victorian Railways and successors, the line served the State Electricity Commission of Victoria operated Yallourn Power Station, open cut mine, and briquette factory complex; as well as the adjacent company town of Yallourn. The line is now part of the Moe to Yallourn Rail Trail.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or line:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
