The first railway line in Australia opened between Melbourne�s Flinders Street Station and Port Melbourne, then called Sandridge, on 12 September 1854. Operated originally as a 1600mm gauge, it has since been converted to a 1435mm gauge electric light railway feeding the Melbourne tram system http://www.dotrs.gov.au/transprog/rail/history.htm
