Tarong Branch Railway. Plans for this thirty kilometre branch line in south-east Queensland, Australia were approved on 12 December 1911 together with an undertaking to extend it further south to Cooyar.[1] Opened on 15 December 1915, the line passed through sidings at Taabinga Village, Boonenne, Goodger, Archookoora and Brooklands.
A mixed train ran thrice weekly but on 1 July 1961 the line closed. The promised link to Cooyar was never built.
