The Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT Division) operated the Michelago Tourist Railway from Queanbeyan to Michelago from 1993; however, the deteriorating state of the line meant that services were later truncated to Royalla before being suspended entirely in 2006.[5]
Description
The station area has three main areas, general waiting room, ticket office and ladies waiting room, plus sheds, lamp room and the yard area.[1]
