Geocache Description:

The link between rail and sea. 


Land for the Spencer Street railway reserve was set aside in 1853. The first shed was constructed in 1859, followed by 3 more in the next decade. By 1882 the Spencer Street railway site covered an area of 74 hectares (183 acres). The railway precinct was located adjacent to Victoria Dock, providing a link between rail and sea transportation and creating a thriving industry of associated trades and businesses.

No.2 Railway Goods Shed was in continual use from 1889 to 1977, as the central point for distribution of goods throughout regional Victoria. At over 385 metres long and 36 metres wide, it was the largest goods shed in the state. It was also one of the busiest, employing up to 1500 men by the 1890's.
