The first section of the railway from Miles to Taroom terminated at Juandah (now known as Wandoan), and was officially opened by the Minister for Railways, Hon. W. T. Paget, on 19 December 1914.
A newspaper article described the large gathering at the opening ceremony, and gifts presented to the Minister and Mr. Godfrey Morgan, the latter's presentation being from selectors in the prickly pear districts, in recognition of his work on their behalf in Parliament.
