About: Victorian Railways

An Entity of Type: State-owned enterprise, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Victorian Railways (VR), trading from 1974 as VicRail, was the state-owned operator of most rail transport in the Australian state of Victoria from 1859 to 1983. The first railways in Victoria were private companies, but when these companies failed or defaulted, the Victorian Railways was established to take over their operations. Most of the lines operated by the Victorian Railways were of 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm). However, the railways also operated up to five 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge lines between 1898 and 1962, and a 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge line between Albury and Melbourne from 1961.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Victorian Railways waren eine staatliche Eisenbahngesellschaft in Australien, die im Bundesstaat Victoria mehrere Eisenbahnstrecken betrieb. Die meisten Strecken hatten eine Spurweite von 1600 mm, es wurden aber zwischen 1898 und 1962 auch bis zu fünf Schmalspurstrecken mit einer Spurweite von 762 mm und ab 1961 die Normalspurstrecke zwischen Albury und Melbourne betrieben. Die Victorian Railways entstanden 1859 durch die Verstaatlichung notleidender oder zahlungsunfähiger privater Bahngesellschaften. Die Gesellschaft wurde 1983 aufgeteilt in die für den Fernverkehr mit dem Markennamen V/Line, und die für den Stadt- und Vorortverkehr von Melbourne mit dem Namen MetRail. (de)

Les premières compagnies ferroviaires de cet État furent des compagnies privées, et lorsque ces compagnies firent faillite ou cessèrent leur exploitation, Victorian Railways fut fondée pour reprendre leurs activités. La plupart des lignes qu'elle exploita étaient à voie large (1 600 mm), quelques-unes cependant, exploitées entre 1898 et 1977, étaient à voie étroite (762 mm).

  • Le Victorian Railways erano una impresa ferroviaria pubblica dell'Australia operante nello stato di Victoria dal 1859 fino al 1983. Le prime ferrovie dello stato di Victoria erano società private ma successivamente, per fallimento o dissesto economico, vennero rilevate e accorpate nelle Victorian Railways. La maggior parte delle linee erano a scartamento largo(1.600 mm) ma cinque di esse erano a scartamento ridotto da 762 mm (gestite tra 1898 e 1962). Nel 1961 si aggiunse la nuova linea a scartamento normale (1.435 mm) tra Albury e Melbourne. (it)
