Yes - it certainly seems to be well looked after. I assume it's still owned by the NSW State Railways and, as trains still stop here occasionally, they probably maintain it. A lot of old railway stations in country areas have been leased to private individuals or community groups and are used partly for local museums or galleries. That doesn't seem to be the case at Mannahill, probably because of it doesn't have sufficient population.
