Forgive my ignorance ... but the what station on the formter what line!?
I only recently learnt about how much more wide spread Victoria's train network was (there are some great maps out there that are almost hard to believe). So I love seeing this!
Timboon's a small town South of Cobden/Camperdown. Elingamite was what they called the station that served about 3 farmers

Seems like it is pretty well maintained nonetheless. I gather it meant a lot to the few farmers that benefitted from it.
And as soon as you light up a cig, the train still shows up.
Ah yes. Good old Elingamite. I always preferred it to Vegemite.
What about Panmure and Pomborneit?
I never hung out much in Panmure but I have an old girlfriend who lives nearby.
