Sydney-Melbourne Rail Corridor
The Sydney–Melbourne rail corridor is an approximately 960-kilometre (600 mi) standard gauge railway corridor that runs between Melbourne and Sydney, the two largest cities in Australia. Freight and passenger services operate along the route, such as the NSW TrainLink XPT passenger service. The XPT offers a day or night service in each direction.
The railway corridor consists of NSW's Main Southern railway line from Sydney's Central Station to Albury Station – 646 kilometres (401 mi) – together with Victoria's North East railway line – 316 kilometres (196 mi) – from Albury Station to Melbourne's Southern Cross station (via Tottenham).
