Branch line Riverton to Spalding
History
The Spalding railway line branched from the Peterborough line at Riverton and passed through the Clare Valley to Spalding. The line opened from Riverton to Clare on 5 July 1918, being extended to Spalding on 9 January 1922. The cessation of railway services was a consequence of the Ash Wednesday Bushfires in February 1983, which caused major damage to infrastructure between Sevenhill and Penwortham. The line was formally closed on 17 April 1984.
This line included the following sidings/stations Riverton, Rhynie, Undalya, Auburn, Watervale, Sevenhill, Clare, Barinia, Hilltown, Andrews, and Spalding.
Status closed and partly dismantled.
