Mulhearn's (siding) opened with the Dorrigo branch on 23/12/1924 at the 695.377km mark. The location was the site of Mulhearn's mill - refererred to locally as the Mororo Mill (multiple local newspaper references).
This siding closed on 8/1/1941 and was relocated (opening 11/2/1941) at the 696.800km mark (Lowanna) as "ACL Siding", renamed to Lloyd April 1942 and eventually closed 9/5/1952.
As "LLoyd" it was known (and referred to locally (again, multiple references in local papers)) as "Lloyd's siding".
