Victorian Disused and Historic Railway Corridors

dataset: VIC_RAILWAY_DISUSED
This data was withdrawn from DataShare April 2025. 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.
