The Melba Line is a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) narrow gauge railway on the west coast of Tasmania. The line was originally constructed as a private railway line named the Emu Bay Railway and was one of the longest-lasting and most successful private railway companies in Australia. While at present the Line travels from Burnie to Melba Flats, it initially ran through to Zeehan carrying minerals and passengers as an essential service for the West Coast community.
