Isis railway line

Opened on 31 October 1887, Childers formed at the terminus and stops were established en route at Bootharh, Horton and Doolbi.

[2] The line enabled development of sugarcane production in the region and a short extension northwest via Huxley, Lynwood and Kowbi to Cordalba opened on 1 June 1896.

[citation needed] Two trains a week were enough to meet the low volume of traffic and the service beyond Cordalba ceased on 1 July 1955.

[4] The Isis Central Mill purchased the Cordalba-Dallarnil section for intended conversion to 2 feet tramway but road transport was preferred.

The rest of the line closed on 1 July 1964 in response to transport of bulk sugar by road and sugarcane by mill owned tramways.
