Cooma Monaro Railway

Cooma Railway Station was opened in 1889, and rail services to Cooma ceased in 1988. Visitors can still experience the nostalgia of rail travel on a 1924 rail motor. The rail motor departs the historic railway station each weekend (note, days and times vary seasonally and depending on school holiday periods), and travel north to Bunyan - or further north to Chakola. Charters are available outside regular times.
