This polyline dataset represents the centreline of disused rail corridors in Victoria. This includes track sections which are given a status of either "Closed" or "Minimum Maintenance". Some of these corridors are within existing VicTrack reserves, however others have been disposed of or were private tracks which are now disused. Some of these corridors now serve as rail trails.

Additional Metadata:
History: The data is based in part on historic railway data maintained by the Department of Transport (DoT)
Current Design Issues: The corridor dataset is a simplification of the rail network. The accuracy of some corridors is approximate. There are likely to be some missing elements to the network.
