joins the Crookwell railway line at Roslyn

The Taralga railway line is a disused branch railway line in the south of New South Wales, Australia. The line commenced at Roslyn and split off the Crookwell railway line to then run to the small town of Taralga. The line operated between 1926 and 1957 and is one of few lines in New South Wales that has been formally closed by an Act of Parliament.[1] Today all track has been lifted and little trace remains of the infrastructure associated with the line.
