2009This once busy station yard and later key crossing loop was abandoned in the early 1990s, resulting in it being reduced to purely a goods siding for loading ballast. However the Melbourne - Adelaide rail corridor upgrade program led to this site being chosen for a new 1800m long crossing loop. The loop will extend towards Petwood, on the southern side of the main line, crossing the former main line and redundant rail bridge over the creek and heading around tile curve and up the, grade. The ballast siding will be rebuilt on the southen side of the new crossing loop - and maybe estended in length~.[cp 9.2009]

2009Located immediateIy south of the Princes Highway overpass, about 10kms from Murray Bddge towards Tailem Bend, this new l800m long crossing loop was necessary as insufficient room and local issues at Murray Bridge deemed that location impossible for loop extension.

2009The existing crossing loop will be extended towards Keith by approximately 850m to provide the necessary 1800m standard crossing loop length. This will result in two tracks crossing over the local Dump Road - requiring active protection, and potential "blockage" when trains are stationary.[cp 9.2009]
