    Not Woodside, Wedderburn, Orbost, Coleraine, Waubra, Stony Crossing, Casterton, Timboon, Mansfield, Cudgewa or Balranald.

    1. The terminus of a closed line.
    2. The terminus and line were closed more than 40 years ago.
    3. The line to this terminus crossed a significant river.
    4. All station names on the closed line to this terminus started with the same letter.

    Briagalong?
    Gman_86

    Close enough.

    1. Briagolong
    2. 1952
    3. Avon River
    4. Boisdale, Bushy Park & Briagolong


    The 1928 Country Lines Services timetable on the victorianrailways.net website lists passenger services to all of the suggestions, Woodside, Wedderburn, Orbost, Coleraine, Waubra, Stony Crossing (Poonboon), Casterton, Timboon, Mansfield, Cudgewa, Balranald, Katamatite & Briagolong, plus many others. It would be an interesting exercise (nightmare perhaps) calculating the number of VLocitys and Sprinters required to implement the timetable today.

    Anyhow, the baton passes to Gman_86

    Oops, please excuse the errant spelling.

    For the next one...

    I am a closed station at a former junction.

    I am not Carlsruhe, Bowser, Cressy or Mangalore.

    1. I am a closed station at a former junction.

    2. My line doesn't see passenger trains anymore. The only trains running through nowadays are for freight.

    BANG!!

    Railblogger for the win with Hamilton.

    My next clue was to be:
    Despite being closed to passenger trains, my station building is still manned by V/Line staff.

    This being due to the number of V/Line passenger road coaches running via Hamilton.

    That is all a moot point now though, Railblogger, I pass the baton to you.

    Baton taken. Thanks @Gman_86.

    Next clue: I am on a line that no longer sees passenger services.
