[edit] 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.
