The Melbourne-Adelaide railway is a standard gauge railway corridor that runs between the cities of Melbourne and Adelaide in Australia.[1] Great Southern Railways operate The Overland along the route, as do a number of other freight and passenger services. Originally made up of the Victorian Railways and South Australian Railways broad gauge lines that met at Serviceton in 1887, it was the first single gauge interstate link in Australia.[2] In 1995 the line was converted to standard gauge under the One Nation program and rerouted along a new route between Melbourne to Ararat in Victoria.[3]
