It is one of two railway lines built by both state governments following an agreement in 1912 to connect to each other’s railway networks. There has been calls for standardisation over the past 2 decades from Heywood to Wolseley since the Melbourne to Adelaide line was converted in 1995. NamingThe line is gazetted as the “Mount Gambier-Heywood Railway” by both the South Australian and Victorian governments.[1] This name was also used in a report jointly published by the two state governments in 2009.[3] Newspaper reports published in both states about the railway line prior to its opening used the title “Portland-Mount Gambier Railway.”[2][3][6] Some sources published in Victoria refer to the line as the “Mount Gambier line.”[7] HistoryThe South Australian and Victorian governments agreed on 28 November 1912 to connect their respective railway networks at two places by constructing lines between Heywood and Mount Gambier and between Murrayville in Victoria and Pinnaroo in South Australia with legislation subsequently passed by both parliaments being enacted on 14 December 1912 and 23 December 1912 respectively.[4][5] The agreement between the two state governments gave the responsibility for the construction of the line between Heywood and Mount Gambier to the Government of Victoria and the responsibility for the line between Murrayville and Pinnaroo to the Government of South Australia.[4] The section of line between Heywood and Dartmoor was completed on 22 June 1916 with the remainder of the line being complete on 28 November 1917.[6] The railway line opened for business on 28 November 1917 without any “special ceremony” and with passenger services scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.[7] The rail service between Mount Gambier and Heywood was suspended on 11 April 1995 due the standardization of the gauges of the Melbourne–Adelaide and the Maroona-Portland lines with also regular calls for standardisation with the excessive demand of wood chips and logs. The South Australian section of the line between Mount Gambier and Rennick was used for Limestone Coast Railway Tourist services towards the border until 20 March 1999. [3][6] In 2009, the South Australian and Victorian governments published an action plan for freight services within the Green Triangle Region which advised that projected volumes of woodchip intended for export from the Port of Portland in the years 2012-2015 would make a restored Mount Gambier–Heywood rail line a “potentially … commercially viable” operation.[8] StationsStations included the following: (from west to east):[9][10] {{columns-list|colwidth=20em |
