Jolimont Yard was an array of railway lines and carriage sidings on the edge of the central business district of Melbourne, Australia. Located between Flinders Street Station, Richmond Junction, the Yarra River and Flinders Street they were often criticised for cutting off the city from the river, being the site of many redevelopment proposals. The Princes Gate Towers (Gas and Fuel Buildings) were built over part of the yard in the 1960s, which themselves were replaced by Federation Square in the 1990s. The rail sidings themselves were progressively removed from the 1980s to the 1990s with only running lines today, but the area continues to be referred to as the 'Jolimont railyards' by Melburnians.
History
The area of the Jolimont Yards had long been a site of railway development. Flinders Street Station was the terminal of the first railway in the city, running to Sandridge (now Port Melbourne). It was later joined by the independent Princes Bridge Station on the eastern side of Swanston Street, which served as the terminal for lines towards Richmond, South Yarra and Hawthorn. The two stations were not connected together until 1866, with Princes Bridge not reopening until 1879.

Melbourne's Richmond Junction - Explained!
Richmond Junction is a large complicated junction between Flinders Street (Melbourne's busiest suburban railway station) and Richmond, carrying all the eastern suburban lines as well as regional passenger and freight trains heading to and from Gippsland. In this video I attempt to explain what all the different tracks are for, and what routes trains normally take through this area. Flinders Street is a pretty flexible station, so most routes shown are just the most common ones: many variations are possible.
A little note - in January 2023 after I made this video, the crossovers I mention at 04:04 were removed, so it is no longer possible to cross between the Caulfield Through and Local lines at Caulfield. This means Frankston trains now always use 3 & 4 at Richmond, and Dandenong/Gippsla...

Melbourne's Underground City Loop - Explained!
The underground City Loop is at the centre of Melbourne's busy suburban railway system, currently operated by Metro Trains Melbourne. It's quite an unusual design, being made up of four completely independent single track tunnels, some of which change direction half way through the day. This video explains the physical layout of the Loop, the reason for the direction change, and some of the other confusing aspects of this part of the network. The Melbourne suburban network is 1600mm/5'3" Broad Gauge, and electrified at 1500v DC.
