Form of article
editThere are a number of difficulties here.
The "Remains" section isn't properly cited. Old photographs of a derelict engine shed don't support the statement that "There are several remains of the railway". this is original research. The same applies to the two locomotives and a coach are owned by the K&ESR. The citation for this is from 2008, fourteen years ago. The present tense should never be used in this situation, see WP policy on this.
I'm not sure about the article title, the Melbourne Line. I can't find a general usage of that title. Even the leading refrence book refers to it more prosaically as the Derby to Ashby Branch. ("The Melbourne Military Railway and the Derby to Ashbury Branch").
Finally the text is rather military-heavy. That's not the fault of the military enthusiasts here, but some civilian content would be valuable, if someone has the relevant reference books. Afterbrunel (talk) 15:59, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
