The Victorian Railways (VR), trading from 1974 as VicRail, was the state-owned operator of most rail transport in the Australian state of Victoria from 1859 to 1983. The first railways in Victoria were private companies, but when these companies failed or defaulted, the Victorian Railways was established to take over their operations. Most of the lines operated by the Victorian Railways were of 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm). However, the railways also operated up to five 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge lines between 1898 and 1962, and a 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge line between Albury and Melbourne from 1961.

rdfs:comment	Victorian Railways (les chemins de fer du Victoria) était une entreprise de transport ferroviaire, qui fonctionna dans l'État australien du Victoria entre 1859 et 1983. Les premières compagnies ferroviaires de cet État furent des compagnies privées, et lorsque ces compagnies firent faillite ou cessèrent leur exploitation, Victorian Railways fut fondée pour reprendre leurs activités. La plupart des lignes qu'elle exploita étaient à voie large (1 600 mm), quelques-unes cependant, exploitées entre 1898 et 1977, étaient à voie étroite (762 mm). Depuis 1961, la ligne entre Albury et Melbourne est en voie normale (1 435 mm).

(en) Le Victorian Railways erano una impresa ferroviaria pubblica dell'Australia operante nello stato di Victoria dal 1859 fino al 1983. Le prime ferrovie dello stato di Victoria erano società private ma successivamente, per fallimento o dissesto economico, vennero rilevate e accorpate nelle Victorian Railways. La maggior parte delle linee erano a scartamento largo(1.600 mm) ma cinque di esse erano a scartamento ridotto da 762 mm (gestite tra 1898 e 1962). Nel 1961 si aggiunse la nuova linea a scartamento normale (1.435 mm) tra Albury e Melbourne. (it) Victorian Railways, VR, var ett delstatsägt järnvägsbolag i delstaten Victoria i Australien.
