The branch line : a history of the Wodonga-Tallangatta-Cudgewa railway / by Lloyd Holmes

Summary
This railway story concerns just one of the many branch lines that snaked across the landscape of Victoria. This book concentrates on the Wodonga – Tallangatta – Cudgewa line, a railway that took 32 years to complete from starting point to eventual terminus. The first section of the Wodonga to Tallangatta line opened in 1889 and was further extended in 1891. It was a vital community link until the passenger service closed in September 1961. The last regular goods train on the line ran on 21st April 1978. The north- east train line to Wodonga remained a significant factor in the development of Wodonga as a rural city in the 20th century.
