 The line is now called the Ohai Line and is one of the very few survivors of a formerly extensive rural branch line network.The Ohai Railway Board Heritage Trust, which had no connection with the Ohai Railway Board, was involved in the restoration of steam locomotives including members of the P and V classes and a railway museum was established, but the trust has been dissolved.Mechanization of mining methods in the 1980s brought huge changes to Ohai (and the nearby sister town of Nightcaps).
