Not quite true. Cairns to Forsayth is no longer running, but to my knowledge
the old mining tramway section of the line which has rail dogspiked straight to
bedrock still operates as a tourist service.

It is intended, hopefully this year, to restore a full service from Cairns to
Forsayth.

I don't think Hughenden Winton has run since the days of Hamel. Not on a
regular timetable anyway.  Even Emerald - Yaraka even stopped for a while.
