Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance
A large and visually impressive railway embankment of local significance, particularly for its historical association with the linking of railway lines, and in connection with the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek bridges also on this line. As part of an engineering solution to the peculiar geography of Melbourne it demonstrates both the changes in settlement and railway operations and the difficulty imposed by the very deep valleys of the Maribyrnong River and its tributary, Steele Creek, in an otherwise flat terrain. This is one of the highest railway embankments in the metropolitan area.Show more
