CMR is an established Australian heritage railway based at Cooma Station in southern New South Wales.
As the gateway to the Snowy Mountains area, Cooma was the destination for almost 100 years of rail services,
until the line from Canberra was closed by flood damage to the bridge over the Numeralla River.
For 10 years there were no trains to be seen in the Monaro area, until CMR commenced operations in December 1998.

CMR uses CPH Railmotors, locally restored to (almost) ‘good as new’ condition.
Motors 6 and 22 provide motive power, whilst trailer 55 has been restored as a dining/lounge car (a unique configuration).
Motor 8 was initially considered beyond restoration, but even it is now a candidate for a new life.
