This 129km railway from Molong ot Dubbo opened in 1925 and basically paralled the main Orange - Dubbo railway while serving the many communities along the way. Operations ceased in 1991 except for 2 km at Molong that is used for a passing siding on the main western line to Broken Hill.

Is it able to be walked even though it’s not officially open?

I was sad to read that this trail is yet to be developed. I hope it happens because that would be a lovely walk!
