Residents braved rain as delegates from Eugowra pitched Canowindra to Eugowra against the South of the Lachlan line. Forbes Railway League will decide which proposal to support after arguments by both sides, with a further meeting planned Saturday afternoon.
Mr Fleming opens the debate in Forbes praising a Canowindra Eugowra railway as the South Lachlan line. He argues the route along the Lachlan river would spur Forbes as a distributing center, linking Sydney to Broken Hill and boosting wheat and lucerne production.
The Forbes Railway League heard Canowindra to Eugowra and Billimari to Grawlin routes argued as better choices amid land values and arable acreage claims. Delegates debated political influence, with Mr Noble and Mr Fleming stressing votes and development before adjourning to vote next Saturday.
