Also abandoned:
Point Ormond line (Glenhuntly Rd west of Brisghton Rd)
Holden St/Brunswick Rd (Fitzroy to East Brunswick)
Batman Avenue
Balloon loop at St Kilda Beach (Esplanade)
Balloon Loop at Caulfield Stn
Puckle St, Moonee Ponds
Victoria St, Flemington

The hump (Mt Buggery) in Miller St Thornbury no longer carries passenger
traffic but remains in use for depot workings

And there are a number of connecting curves that have gone, and a number of
crossovers, and terminus layouts reduced from two tracks to one; and the
centre track at Docklands.
