From No.2 station to Ngakawau it was just short of 5 miles. There was to be another station and bins built further up toward Webb Mine but it didn’t get built. Coal was loaded at No.2 which was up by the garage and also at No.3 across the road from the bath house. That’s where coal from Frog Dip, McCabes and Mt William went on.Date of Photo1956Map^[1]ContributorKelvin Webster
