Boggabri railway station is located on the Mungindi line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Boggabri, opening on 11 July 1882 when the line was extended from Gunnedah. It served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Moree on 1 April 1897.[1] [2]

Coal

There are a number of coal mines served by balloon loops in the Boggabri area, although these are beyond the immediate station yard. The Maules Creek branch line leaves the Mungindi line roughly 4.5km (02.8miles) north of the station, leading to the Maules Creek loader and East Boggabri Coal Terminal, while a separate balloon loop suitable for a single 1340m train is located adjacent to the main line from a set of points just beyond the Maules Creek branch junction.[3]

Services

Boggabri is served by NSW TrainLink's daily Northern Tablelands Xplorer service operating between Moree and Sydney.
