Malmsbury Rail Bridge

Malmsbury, Victoria.

The Rail Bridge, over Coliban River, Malmsbury, is a large, 500 feet long, rusticated basalt structure, erected in 1859 by Cornish and Bruce for the Victorian Railways.
It carries the Melbourne-Bendigo Rail line (originally known as the Sandhurst line) over the Coliban River and comprises a five-span, segmented arch structure catering for two tracks and is faced with rusticated masonry.
The Rail Bridge at Malmsbury is historically significant as a representative example of a bridge built in the period of the 'main trunk lines', c.1857 - c.1869. Built in 1859, the structure is one of the earliest railway bridges of its size constructed in Victoria.
