What is Railways in Melbourne?
[[Melbourne]] has a long history of '''[[Rail transport|railway]]''' building. The city's first railway opened in 1854, when in 1834 the city itself did not exist. The network then grew as lines were built throughout the [[suburb]]s, reaching a peak by the 1900s. Electrification of the system was carried out from 1919, with electric multiple unit operation starting at the same time. {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Public transport in Melbourne]]
