Tasmanian Main Line Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tasmanian Main Line Company was a private railway that opened a narrow gauge (1067 mm) line from Hobart to Evandale, near Launceston, where it connected with the Launceston and Western Railway. It debts were guaranteed by the Tasmanian Government. In 1890, the Tasmanian Government bought the Tasmanian Main Line Company, creating the Tasmanian Government Railways.[1]
