The Coonamble railway line is a railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The line branches from the Main West Line at Dubbo. It opened in 1903,[1] and carried passenger traffic until the 1970s. 900/950 class railmotors were first introduced[dubious – discuss] on the service between Dubbo and Coonamble.[2][vague] It continues to carry goods traffic, predominately grain. The disused historic Coonamble railway station is currently at risk of demolition due to vandalism and high maintenance costs.[3] The line is owned by the Rail Infrastructure Corporation of New South Wales, however operations over the line are managed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) under a 60-year agreement.[4] The northern section of the line features track that is in generally poor condition with derailments not uncommon.[5]
