Tumulla railway station, New South Wales
- Tumulla railway station, New South Wales
Tumulla was a crossing loop part way up the steep Tumulla Bank.
Overview
The looped 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 loop in case of runaways. [ http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Tumulla&line=NSW:main_west:0 ]
The loop was closed around 1990.
