History

The Moorook railway line was a 50.6 kilometres (31.4 mi) railway line, It ran from a junction with the Bamera line at Wanbi north to Yinkanie near Marook opening on 7 September 1925. It was proposed to later extend the line to Moorook and Kingston On Murray if demand arose, but road transport improved so the railway was never extended, and the line was closed on 1 May 1971.

This line included the following sidings/stations Gluyas, Caliph, Bayah,Tuscan, Koowa, Wunkar, Myrla, Wappilka and Yinkanie.

Status the line is closed and dismantled
