History of Rail
The rail industry is an enduring one with the first rail systems in the country built long before the federation was formed in 1901. This means the rail system in Australia is older than the country itself. The first rail systems in the country were built in the mid-1800s, 1854 to be precise. This was when the first steam railway linking Melbourne and port Melbourne began. Soon after that, the railway system started developing in the colonies. At first, the rolling stock and track were imported, but the growth of the rail systems here soon changed that, and by the 1880s, the equipment was being produced locally.
