When talking
about Cumberland, you cannot forget to mention the Cumberland
railways found in Sydney, Australia. Opened in 1996 this line is
mainly used to connect Blacktown and Campbelton stations in the
western suburbs of Sydney. Its construction, cost 80millions and
required the construction of a little over one kilometre of new
track and no new stations. The line was named Cumberland
railways because of the Cumberland plain on which much of
western Sydney was built. The Cumberland plain is a region of
the New South Wales in Australia. It is located in the local
Government Areas of Auburn Council, City of Black town, Camden
Council, City of Fairfield, City of Hawkesbury, City of
Holroyd, City of Liverpool, City of Parramatta, City of Penrith,
City of Ryde and Wollondilly Shire,parts of City of Cambeltown
and several inner-western councils. |
