Tumbarumba railway line, New South Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tumbarumba railway line is a railway line in New South Wales, Australia. Services are suspended, although the line is not officially closed (which would require an Act of Parliament). The line branched from the Main South line at Wagga Wagga and passed through Tarcutta to the township of Tumbarumba. It opened in stages from 1917 to 1921 and was essentially closed in 1987.^[1] Passenger trains ceased operation in 1974 after significant flooding saw much of the line abandoned. In 2001, a large bushfire destroyed the disused Tarcutta railway station.^[2] All other stations on the line have been demolished.
