Toronto Branch

Summary

Track: 3.74 km
Stations: 1 / 5 in use

The Toronto branch was a short line (only 4km) branching off the Main North near Lake Macquarie. Most of the line is still intact although two sections between Blackalls Park and Toronto have been cut to make way for roads. Apart from that, the track is in good condition. A walking track has been created next to the line for its entire length.

The terminus at Toronto boasted arguably the best view in the state, looking over the waters of Lake Macquarie.
