The Kunama branch (commonly known as the Batlow line) was built as an extension to the Cootamundra - Tumut line in 1923, branching off at a junction near Gilmore. From the junction, the line heads up the Gilmore valley before climbing the hills to the town of Batlow. Batlow to Kunama is one of the few sections in NSW to be formally closed, in 1957.  The Tumut - Batlow section briefly resumed as a tourist railway around 1989.
