Orange City Council’s Services Policy committee chair Cr Ron Gander said the celebrations would greet the arrival of the train from Sydney.
“There will be a free family fun day on April 19 at the station with a birthday cake, a jumping castle and a barbecue from 11am,” he said.
“No need to book just come along.”
There will also be display of historic railway photos at the Orange City Library until April 22.
And you can watch a classic British comedy film, The Titfield Thunderbolt, at a special screening from 6.15pm on April 19 at the Odeon 5 cinemas in Orange.
The movie tells of a town’s efforts to keep its railway running.
