The Redesdale railway line was a branch railway line off the
Melbourne–Murray River line in Australia. The line was conceived in the
Railway Construction Act 1884, which was known as the Octopus Act for its profligacy. The line never paid.
The line had seven stations, including its junction with Melbourne - Murray River Railway at
Redesdale Junction. The other stations were Edgecombe, Green Hill, East Metcalfe, Emberton,
Barfold and
Redesdale.[1]
Little survives of the line, but one of the old railway residences was moved to nearby
Metcalfe where it is still used as a residence.[2]
