The Murwillumbah branch lies in the for north east of NSW. It still sees passenger and some freight traffic, although the final section to Condong was closed in 1975.
Recently, freight operations were taken over by the Northern Rivers Railway, who subcontract to FreightCorp. Interestingly, NRR use 421 class locomotives for their operations.
The line was closed by the government on May 16 2004, because it would have cost too much to maintain.
