Around 1877, the <a href="/wiki/Stratford,_Victoria" title="Stratford, Victoria">Stratford</a> Railway League were making calls for a railway line from <a href="/wiki/Welshpool,_Victoria" title="Welshpool, Victoria">Welshpool</a> to <a href="/wiki/Omeo,_Victoria" class="mw-redirect" title="Omeo, Victoria">Omeo</a>, passing through <a href="/wiki/Sale,_Victoria" title="Sale, Victoria">Sale</a>, Stratford and Briagolong. December 1880 saw a public event held in Briagolong, headed by Landy, to hear the opinions of local residents, preceding a banquet to be held in Maffra.<sup id="cite_ref-discovering_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-discovering-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The railway minister, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Bent" title="Thomas Bent">Thomas Bent</a>, visited Briagolong on 22 October 1881, and according to the recollections of Marjorie Kelly, was "happy to grant Briagolong its railway".
