Railways

It is the location of a railway junction connecting the Cootamundra to Lake Cargelligo railway line to Parkes, which provides an alternative route from Sydney to Parkes to the route over the Blue Mountains, avoiding that route's steep grades and is now as a result the major route for freight between Sydney and Perth. The route from Cootamundra to Stockinbingal and Parkes is also part of a rail bypass of Sydney for traffic between Melbourne and Brisbane via Dubbo, Werris Creek and Maitland.
Stockinbingal is the closest town to the Yeo Yeo district, where the Bradman family had a farm and Don Bradman lived as a child. The shell of the old Yeo Yeo schoolhouse may be seen a few km from town on the road to Wallendbeen.
