The Noojee line was 5'3" gauge, not 2'6".

Thanks to emdb67 for letting me know that the Noojee Line was 5'3", not 2'6".

No problem. A lot of people seem to think it was a narrow gauge line - hardly surprising given the terrain. I see you've changed the title now. :)

Thanks again emdb67. On the broad gauge railway it would have been a fantastic journey. But that seems to be the story of Australia - one generation strives to build and the next legislates to destroy!

I understand that fires destroyed the line more than once. This bridge happens to be the one that survived of the several large ones between Nayook and Noojee. The line was later cut back to Nayook. All before my time, but I've read up on the line's history.
