Abstract

The Victorian Railways: A Thematic History has been prepared to document and illustrate how the railways have shaped the Victorian environment over time. In this way, this document provides a framework for helping to understand the historic context in which railway-related places and objects have been created and used, and assists in being able to understand and assess their heritage value.

The role of this Thematic History is not to provide a comprehensive chronological or social history of the Victorian Railways. It is instead a concise document that identifies broad historic themes to explain how the environment has been shaped by the railways over time.
