It opened in 1903,[1] and carried passenger traffic until the 1970s. 900/950 class railmotors were first introduced[dubious ] on the service between Dubbo and Coonamble.[2][vague] It continues to carry goods traffic, predominantly grain. Operations over the line are managed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) under a 60-year agreement.[3]

The northern section of the line featured track that was in generally poor condition with derailments not uncommon.[4] However, a NSW Government project completed in 2017 restored the line, including by laying new steel sleepers and renewing bridges.[5]
