If anyone has more information on the Kimbriki loop and signal box, I'd be very keen to hear it.
The couple in the photo out front of the box and on the trike are my Grandparents.
They only returned to Sydney so that mum could start school.
Thanks and apologies if I've upset anyone posting to an older topic.

Kimbriki - this loop was never upgraded & had lighter rail than the main line 94lb & no sleeper plates just dogspiked with the remainder of the loop being removed (long after the turnouts had been straight railed) when the concrete resleepering project went through, the loop was well utilised during the 1988 Bicentennial celebrations with steam trains running from Taree to Kimbriki & return.
