1928 it has on the this picture and it looks like the rail for the lockey goes over the road they started in 1927 with Redpaths carting the coal, later they serviced a few other mines up the 10 mile. Freddy Fauth on the south side took his coal down to the road on the other side of the bridge to Redpaths by horse. In 1934 Briandale had an offer of no objection to build bins and a garage on the road side . So most likely the track across the main rd was finished then.
