This 39km section of Inland Rail, now under construction, creates a new direct route from east of Illabo tracking north to Stockinbingal in New South Wales.
The route will bypass the townships of Cootamundra and Bethungra and the winding, steep section of track known as the Bethungra Spiral on the Main South line, opening up a more efficient way to transport freight through the area.

Your consultative committee
A Community Consultative Committee (CCC) has been established for local communities in the Illabo to Stockinbingal section area. This CCC provides a forum to share project information, discuss topics of interest, and address any issues or community concerns.
Importantly, it also provides an opportunity for community representatives to share their knowledge and experience on key issues with the Inland Rail team.
