The Naradhan railway line is an operational railway line in southwestern New South Wales. 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]to open up the region for agriculture, and is currently used for seasonal grain haulage. The line saw passenger services until 1974. There was proposal in 1929 to extend the line to Moonia Gap but this was never done.[3]

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.[4]
