Early Cobram rail extension agitation from 1883 era
In 1883 Cobram selectors pressed to extend the railway from Numurkah to Cobram due to long grain haul to the nearest railhead at Benalla. Roads were rough, few trips possible, and wheat prices fluctuated. supporters argued for a terminus at the 110th section reserve with a Sailway league pressing government action aided by Duncan Gillies and Tocumwal interests.
