Donald Bourke:

My father Carrie Bourke Dennis Landrigan and Harry Goodrich were the signal men there in the 70s. The loop was only good for 52 and 2. The platform had a small timber waiting room next to the box. Ash pit was straight opposite the box with the points to the siding of the main at the Sydney end of the platform and the other end at the down main starter. The up starter was a bracket post to go over the stock siding that at one time was there (never found out what track arrangements there were for this)
The end of platform had a dock for loading road trucks. Continuing in the down direction was the entry road to the station, mens toilet (prefab concrete) then the foundation of the demolished water tower, perway shed and lastly the foundation and drain for the water column near the starting signals. The foundation and drain were still in situ at the up end as well.
