The Railton - Roland Branch Line - A History of Railways in the Municipality of Kentish - Leonard C Fisher and Barbara Wells

The Railton - Roland Branch Line traces the Kentish municipality railway built in 1913-14 and opened by Joseph Lyons, later Prime Minister of Australia. The line carried goods, timber, minerals and passengers between Railton - originally known as Redwater Creek - and Roland (known as Staverton until 1923), with a rail-motor service introduced in 1923 that became its best-remembered feature. It closed in December 1957, after which the track was removed; a section near Sheffield is now run as the Redwater Creek Heritage Railway.
