The Woodside railway line was a country branch line, in Victoria, Australia. It opened in three stages from 1921 to 1923. Most of the line was closed in 1953, with the remaining section to Yarram continuing in use until 1987.

History

The Woodside line branched off the former South Gippsland line, also known as the Great Southern Railway, at Alberton station. It was one of the last major branch lines constructed in Victoria, and opened in three stages. The first section, from Alberton to Yarram, opened on 8 February 1921, the second, to Won Wron, opened on 16 December 1921, and the third section, to the terminus at Woodside, on 22 June 1923.[1][2] The line was well-known for its sharp curves and spectacular scenery. It was one of the last in Victoria to have a mixed passenger and goods service.

The branch continued in its initial configuration until 25 May 1953 when it was closed from Yarram to Woodside.[1] The section of the branch to Yarram remained open until 26 October 1987, after which it, and part of the main line, was closed back to Welshpool.

A six-kilometre section of the former branch, from Alberton to Yarram, has become the Tarra Rail Trail.[3]
