When was the first railway built in Australia?
It depends on what type of train is meant by the question. The first horse-drawn railway track was established in South Australia on 18 May 1854. It ran between Goolwa and Port Elliot, and the train, which was mostly for goods, was entirely powered by horses. Victoria was the first Australian state to have a completed mechanical railway line. Railways were first established on 12 September 1854 in Melbourne, Victoria when Australia's first steam train ran from Flinders Street to Sandridge, now Port Melbourne. The first attempt to construct a railway line in Australia had come when the Sydney Railway Company began constructing a railway track in New South Wales between Sydney and Parramatta, but financial problems delayed its completion. The NSW government took over, and the line was finally opened on 26 September 1855, a year after the Melbourne line.
