Yallourn railway line

[1] It left the main line at Hernes Oak, initially with a staff locked set of points and a loop siding.

[3] In later years, outward traffic from the briquette works increased, and an electrification program for the Gippsland line was put into place as part of Operation Phoenix.

The old line fell into disuse but was not removed until March 1957, when the SECV began to expand the Yallourn open cut mine across the alignment.

Due to the decrease in railway traffic the signal box and interlocking at Yallourn was removed in May 1968, and in April 1974 the substation was taken out of use, overhead power being fed from Moe.

[7] The former railway was converted into a rail trail after closure, running from Narracan Dve in Moe to the Yallourn West power station.
