Tumulla railway station

Tumulla was a crossing loop part way up the steep Tumulla Bank.

Overview

The loop opened in 1910, and was signalled for Up and Down Working. The loop was about 400m long.

Because of the steep grades, there was a safety siding at the down hill end of the up loop in case of runaways.[1] There was also a catchpoint at the down hill end of the down loop.

The loop was closed around 1990.
