The Limestone Coast Railway was a 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) tourist railway that operated from Mount Gambier in South Australia's Limestone Coast region, running Redhen railcars to Kalangadoo and Tantanoola. Due to problems with public liability insurance, it was forced to suspend operations in about the year 2000. It resumed a limited service to Tantanoola and Naracoorte but again suspended its operations as of 1 July 2006.
