TheBroadstore Siding was a 1.6-kilometre (1.0 mi) longrailway siding in the suburb ofCampbellfield,Melbourne,Australia, that served theAustralian Army'sMaygar Barracks. The siding branched fromBroadmeadows station, on theCraigieburn line, and ran in an eastern direction, crossing (at grade) Blair Street and Railway Crescent.[1]
A branch line was provided during theSecond World War to Broadstore, commencing from north-east of Broadmeadows station, opening on 12 October 1942, and remaining in place until 1982; the tracks were not lifted until after 1991.[2] The Broadstore Line was unelectrified, and extended in a directly easterly direction for approximately 1.6 km (0.99 mi) towards theUpfield Line terminating at the Maygar Barracks inCampbellfield.[3] The Broadstore Line was marked on the 1980 map of Victorian Railways, with its closure taking place shortly afterwards.[4] The line has now been turned into the Meadowlinkrail-trail for the majority of its length. TheCity of Hume completed the project which involved converting the former railway line into a 4 ha (9.9-acre) community open space, naming it the Meadowlink Linear Park.[5]
