- Geelong_and_Melbourne_Railway_Company abstract "The Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company was a railway company in Victoria, Australia. Alexander Thomson, a member of the Victorian Legislative Council, brought in and passed a bill which incorporated the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company c. 1852. Thomson was one of the directors and presided at the first shareholder meeting.Work began at the Geelong end in 1854 but progress was slow due to a labour shortage caused by the Victorian gold rush.English engineer and surveyor Edward Snell undertook the survey and design of the line, including provision for extensive workshops and station at Geelong and a number of Bluestone and timber bridges.The company opened the railway line on 25 June 1857 from Geelong to Newport. In 1859 this line was extended to Spencer Street Station and a branch line was opened from Newport to Williamstown Pier. However, the company continued to operate at a loss and in June 1860 was sold to the Government of Victoria for £800,000. The railway then became part of the network operated by the Victorian Railways.".
