Branching off the main Port Fairy railway at Terang, it ran north to Mortlake. HistoryThe original idea for a railway line serving Mortlake was first tabled in the 1870s. The line had been completed, but not used until 1889, when the Mortlake Despatch ran a newspaper article questioning why the line was not yet in operation. The line was officially opened on 4 February 1890. Soon after, additional facilities were provided, such as a windmill, 10 ton weighbridge and stockyards.[1] The Koonendah Railway Station Post Office opened on 1 December 1890 but closed in 1891.[2] The line was closed to all traffic on Tuesday, 1 August 1978.[3] Dismantling of the line occurred during May/June 1988.[4] Station guide{{Routemap|title=Mortlake railway line |float=none |title-bg= |map= STRq\\TBHF~~Terminus: Terang Station \\pBHF~~Terang Racecourse Station \\pBHF~~Koonendah Station \\ENDEe~~Mortlake Station}} References1. ^"Mortlake Line", Rail Geelong.
