The Blackwater railway system enters the locality from the north (Comet) and forms part of the locality's north-eastern boundary, before heading south through the locality, exiting to the south (Lowesby). The locality is served by two railway stations:[6]

For students living in the north of Togara, the nearest government primary school is Comet State School in neighbouring Comet to the north-west, while for students living in the south of Togara, the nearest government primary school is Rolleston State School in Rolleston to the south. However, for students living in the centre of the locality, these two schools are likely to be too distant for a daily commute and the alternatives are distance education and boarding school. There are no nearby secondary schools; again the alternatives are distance education and boarding school.[10]
