What state am I in?
There are several Victorian Railway lines that extend into NSW due to being much closer to Melbourne than Sydney. The original Echuca to Deniliquin line was a private line opening in 1876, later taken over by the Victorian Government Railways in 1923. NSW Government Railways never made it to Deniliquin, there were plans to go there however. This has left this as being the longest operating Broad Gauge line still in NSW. The only other operational one is the short section of line at Tocumwal, the NSW standard gauge closed long ago, but there have been recent attempts to reopen it.
SSR operate regular grain trains out of Deniliquin to Melbourne, today S312, P14 and S317 departed Deniliquin for Allied Pinnacle at Kensington as train number 9098. Rice Mill traffic ceased about 3 years ago, but there is talk of it starting back up again in the future.
