The Main Western Line was the original western trunk line, starting from Sydney and extending to the town of Bourke in the state's north-west. Despite its name, it never reached the border.
In 1989, the Bogan River at Nyngan flooded, damaging the line there. In addition, part of the line was blown up by the army to relieve the floodwaters. The line was never repaired.
The State Mine Heritage Park and Railway operates on the old State Mine branch at Lithgow.
