Type : Siding
Line : North Coast Line
Distance from Sydney : 831.800km (approx)
Opened : 20 April 1911
Closed : 12 June 1917
Status : Closed
Name meaning : After the company it serviced
Notes : Opened as Campbell's Siding per WN of 1911. This was a loop siding. The Northern Star (Lismore), 26 August 1911, reported Merrigan Brickworks were in "full swing" — consistent with the brickworks beginning operations shortly after the siding opened (or probably already in operation).
WN23-1913 has a listing of sharp curves which mentions Merrigan Brick Siding but the WNs are silent as to when the name change happened. The only other WN reference is WN26-1917 which notes 'Since 19 June 1917 the siding at 83.40...has been dispensed with and removed'. This location was closely associated with the Merrigan Estate.
Cheech Cat:
Only have the WN from 1911. WN23-1913 has a listing of sharp curves which mentions Merrigan Brick Siding. The only other WN reference is WN26-1917 which notes 'Since 19 June 1917 the siding at 83.40...has been dispensed with and removed'. Looking to the south of Yongurra on SIX maps could this be the site of Merrigans? The (Lismore) Northern Star on 26.8.1911 reported that Merrigan Brickworks, Kyogle were now in 'full swing'.
