Why is it significant?
The Former Coburg Railway Line is significant at the State level for the following reasons:
The Former Coburg Railway Line is historically significant as one of the most intact surviving examples of a nineteenth century railway line in Victoria. Its collection of nineteenth century buildings and infrastructure contributes to the understanding of Victoria's nineteenth century railway network and particularly its growth in the 1880s and 1890s. [Criterion A]
The nineteenth century structures associated with the Former Coburg Railway Line such as gates, gatekeepers cabins, signals and signal boxes are now rare in Victoria and are evidence of activities and functions which are no longer common in Victoria. [Criterion B]
The collection of buildings and other elements associated with the Former Coburg Railway Line are a notable example of nineteenth century railway infrastructure. The collection comprises a large range of buildings and structures developed for railway purposes which individually and collectively demonstrate comparative integrity. The surviving structures are typical of a nineteenth century railway line and remain largely unchanged since their construction. [Criterion D]
