They don't go beyond Bowenfels (except for a very tiny distance). They
never did. There was a grand scheme to electrify to Wallerawang, but it
never happened. A limited number of interurban services used to
terminate at Bowenfels, but this has not happened for many years. The
overhead between Lithgow and Bowenfels was decommissioned some years
ago.
