The Naradhan railway line is a railway line in south-western New South Wales, Australia. It branches from Ungarie on the Lake Cargelligo line and heads in a westerly direction, passing through Youngareen and Kikoira, to the small town of Naradhan. The line opened on 11 February 1929[1][2][3] to open up the region for agriculture, and is currently used for seasonal grain haulage. The line saw passenger services until 1974.
A 1929 proposal to extend the line to Monia Gap was never actioned.[4]
Passenger Services
From the opening of the railway a tri-weekly passenger service operated in each direction. The service was a mixed passenger and goods train leaving Ungarie on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1:20pm, and leaving the terminus, Naradhan, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 9:06am. Naradhan branch line trains connected at Ungarie with the Lake Cargelligo to West Wyalong services, and those trains connected at West Wyalong with the mail trains to Sydney.[5] Passenger services ceased in 1975.[6] Today it is served by seasonal grain trains.
