The Warren railway line is an operational railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It is a 20 kilometres (12 mi)–long branch from the Main West line at the town of Nevertire and heads in a northerly direction to the town of Warren. The line opened in 1898[1] and is used for grain haulage.
Current state
[edit]The line is unballasted which causes severe speed restrictions over the entire branch. The Auscott siding at Snakes Plain serves an adjacent cotton processing facility which opened in 1995. Today[when?] the line has been proposed for closure due to its condition.[citation needed]
