The Parkes to Narromine railway line is a railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The line forms part of a cross country route between Cootamundra on the Main South line and Werris Creek on the Main North line ["New South Wales Cross-Country Lines - Narromine-Cootamundra" Clark, L.A. Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, July, 1953 pp85-88] . It is owned by the Rail Infrastructure Corporation of New South Wales, but is managed and maintained by the Australian Rail Track Corporation under a 60 year lease signed in 2004. [cite web | ARTC| work = ARTC | title = Final Tripartite Agreement| url=http://www.artc.com.au/docs/nswlease/pdf/Final_Tripartite_Agreement.pdf | accessdate = 2007-05-24 ] The line is used mainly for grain haulage, with several silo facilities located along the line. Passenger services ceased in the mid 1970s and there are no surviving passenger stations on the line. The station building at Peak Hill has been relocated to a nearby sportsground.
