In 1930, it was extended to Koorakee, New South Wales, as part of the proposed Lette railway line, although that section was never officially opened for traffic.

The last regular passenger service on the line, operated by a DERM, ran from Bendigo to Robinvale on 3 June 1978.

The line from Anneullo to Robinvale in Victoria was opened on 5 June 1924, and a 60-kilometre (37 mi) extension to Lette was planned, being provided for under the Border Railways Act 1922.

The extension, part of a scheme to foster closer settlement of the Riverina district of New South Wales,[7] was to serve the locations of Euston, Benanee, Koorakee, Werimble, Mylatchie and Lette.

[8] Work started on the railway in 1926, and the rail-road bridge across the Murray River at Robinvale, built as part of the project, was opened on 14 March 1928.

[10] Today the line operates using the Train Order Working system of safeworking, with just a single crossing loop at Korong Vale.

The line speed was cut to 25 km/h from Korong Vale to Lalbert, due to poor sleeper condition, then 40km/h beyond.
