Talk:Bombala railway line/@comment-101.175.5.181-20180128211246

Had the line received regular maintenance and had it been supplied with updated rolling stock the line may have been viable..In 1921 when the end of the line town Bombala open for businness it took 3 hours to travel to Cooma, then it was a lot quicker than the half day trip by car.When the line closed it took 3-5 hours to get to Cooma via a depleted worn out passenger service.The last freight train to leave Bombala was unable to atain a sppeed of any more than 40 klm hour due to poor track conditions..Any wonder road haulage took over. The shame and blame lays with incompedent Governments that have destroyed our rail system Allen Simpson
