Tarong Branch Railway. Plans for this thirty kilometre branch line in south-east Queensland, Australia were approved on 12 December 1911 together with an undertaking to extend it further south to Cooyar. Opened on 15 December 1915, the line passed through sidings at Taabinga Village, Boonenne, Goodger, Archookoora and Brooklands.

A mixed train ran thrice weekly but on 1 July 1961 the line suffered the same fate as the Windera branch with the promised link to Cooyar never materialising.
