Best Answer

The first horse-drawn railway track was established in South Australia on 18 May 1854. It ran between Goolwa and Port Elliot. 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 came 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.
