[QUOTE="dave14110, post: 546, member: 14"] I'd say at a guess there is about a dozen near me. But I believe most are now on private land. I have done a bit of a recky on 3 they all still have tracks & all have blackberries. have done a little detect at to & got about four coins at each. The coin that surprized me was a $1 as these station have not been used for many many years I would say trains defininatly stopped running at least 10 or 20 years prior to release of dollar coins, however I do not know for sure. The train line is the old train line thatused to go down to Leongatha from Dandenong. Sth Gippsland. I might try do some more research. Just had a look & found this [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koo_Wee_Rup_railway_station,_Victoria[/url] So this it stopped in 1993 so I was wrong the train stopped 9 years after the release of $1. might have to do some more research.
