At the Cooma end of the line, there is another heritage railway, the Cooma Monaro Railway, that was formed in 1992, when a group of local Cooma people decided to restore Cooma Railway Station. After the group had restored the station, efforts were then made by the group to acquire some rolling stock and re-open a section of track. This came to fruition starting in 1998, with over 17 kilometres of railway track now reopened and restored CPH railmotors operating between Cooma and Chakola. Train movements though are currently suspended on this section of track, while the CMR tends to various new requirements of the Office of National Rail Safety Regulator.
