Trangie to Dandaloo Railway Debate at Farmers Meeting
At a recent Farmers and Settlers meeting in Trangie the advisability of a Trangie to Dandaloo railway was discussed. Proponents argued a direct Narromine Trangie line would connect settlers west of the Trangie Dandaloo road to rail, while opponents warned a deviation via Narromine Peak Hill would cut off communities west of the route from rail access. The stance favored direct lines from Narromine and Trangie to serve west Bogan and Harvey Ranges settlers.
