Boggabilla railway line

When the line was first approved it ran through mainly grazing country, and few could have envisaged the development of grain production after the 1940s in the area.

By mid-1928, clearing had been completed to the 23-mile (37 km) point and work steadily continued until 1930 when, due to a shortage of funds, progress was halted for six months.

By 1978, rail services were largely worked on a seasonal basis, hauling wheat, and an occasional train to Boggabilla to collect sleepers milled locally.

In 1987, the line was truncated at North Star and grain was trucked by road to the silos there and at Crooble.
