- Welcome to Lost in Time, a short series of documentary videos showcasing the lost railways of the ACT, and an exploration to see what survives.
In todays video, we explore the short-lived branch line from Kingston to Civic. Built in 1921 and closed in 1922, there's still much to be found of this old railway, a century after its closure.

It's a massive shame the railway wasn't kept, it would have been amazing for the city nowadays if plans had be realised.
Do you plan on making a video about the abandoned station and sidings at Molonglo? I've always wanted to know what the deal was with there.
Thankyou. Most informative and well presented. 👍
Interesting hearing about the lost railways in Canberra. I was not aware of these rail lines. Thanks for sharing.
Thrilled to wake up on Saturday morning to this video. I was obsessed with finding the traces of Canberra's lost railways, back in the days of my Weekend Walks blog, and now I've seen them all, thanks to the Canberra Railway Museum. 🤩
'Rediscovering Lost Railways' Aus style. I like it, nicely done! It's incredible to see so much vacant land and not only did this line vanish but nothing was done for a link through to Yass. I suppose if the population and feasibility was there during they railway's heydays they would've done it.
This is an excellent video, very well made. I think there is one small error in it - the construction railway ran closer to or even right next to Amaroo St, not between the trees forming the railway easement. These were planted around the 1940s to safeguard the land where the definitive railway from Kingston through the city and out to Yass was planned to go, but not a single rail was laid.
An interesting video, I certainly didn't know that the railway actually extended past the current station. Thanks for the lesson 😎👍
Thanks! Great history 👍
Very well done, thoroughly enjoyed that. Keep it up.
Well done.
for someone who has lived here for over 40 years I didn't realise that any of the branch lines to civic still existed.
Amazing video!
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot catch a train to Canberra from Melbourne direct in this day and age. That we have to catch connections either by rail or bus via XPT in NSW is a joke!!!!
I think it makes perfect sense. 7+ hours. 1 hour plane. If there was demand it would have never been stopped. End of story. It’s only a city of 400,000 people: how busy would you think it would be when a train from Melbourne to Adelaide (2 million) is half empty and only runs 3 times a week.
Part of the Canberra Planners' unfailing obsession with destroying public transport. Because they _don't use it._
ACT Planning has not met a car park it didn't like! Any green space is only temporary until it can be replaced with broken bitumen, weeds and metres.
It seems Mother Nature in Canberra didnt like railways.
Does the Canberra museum have any steam locos?or are they closed I heard that their bankrupt and sold everything its a shame
We were, but we're back, and still have 3016 and 1210!
This stuff needs to be part of mental health treatment
Brilliant ❤❤❤
Add public toilets for historical background, please.

reopen the line :)
Public transport absolutely sucks in the ACT. The place is a homage to the motor car.
It is a town of 400,000. How good would you expect it to be?
Good history but why oh why do people use ragtime music to conjure up a past age.
So a city that was completely planned and built in the modern era didn’t preserve a railway corridor into the city 🥲 interesting
