Tiger Rail Trail

The Tiger Rail Trail or Birregurra-Forrest Rail Trail is a 4.4 kilometre[1] rail trail following the route of the former Forrest railway line in Victoria, Australia.

The branch line from Birregurra to Forrest opened in June 1891.[1] The town of Forrest was built at the terminus in 1890.[2] The line carried passengers and freight, including agricultural produce. The station included a locomotive turntable, parcels shed, goods platform and crane.[2]

The branch line closed in 1957. The "Tiger" name references the black and yellow striped converted Dodge sedan rail motor that serviced the line in its later years.[1]
