Operations
The line operated using the Train Order Working system of safeworking. A crossing loop was provided at Bridgewater. The maximum speed limit was 50 km/h, with all mainline locomotives permitted, albeit with some speed restrictions.[2]
The line was booked out of service in May 2007.[1] Flood damage in January 2011 resulted in damage to bridges and ballast washaways on several sections of track, which had not been repaired as of July 2018[update].
Sections of rail near Bridgewater have been pulled up to be reused in several standard gauge conversion projects in that part of Victoria.
