The Colbinabbin railway line (also known as Rushworth railway line) is a closed 42-kilometre (26 mi) branch railway line situated in both the Hume and Loddon Mallee regions of Victoria, Australia. Constructed by the Victorian Railways, it branches from the Shepparton line at Murchison East station, and runs west from the town of Murchison East to Colbinabbin. The line was primarily built to serve the grain industries as well as providing a general goods and passenger service to townships in the area.
