The Blayney-Demondrille railway line is a railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It opened in the 1880s^[1] and connects the Main West line at Blayney with the Main South Line at Demondrille, and passes through the towns of Cowra and Young. It is used mainly for grain haulage. The line is owned by the NSW government, however in 2004 the Australian Rail Track Corporation became responsible for operations over the line.^[2] The Lachlan Valley Railway operates heritage and tourist trains over the line, based at Cowra, and previously operated general goods trains.

[edit] Eugowra Branch

A railway line branched from Cowra and headed west to the small township of Eugowra. The line opened to Canowindra in 1910 and to Eugowra in 1922. It mainly carried grain traffic, but also had a passenger service until 1974. Services are currently suspended and the line is in a poor state, meaning that it is unlikely to reopen.
