[edit] Bridge
Looking at a map I don't think the line could have been heading for the road bridge, the bridge is too far west.--Grahamec 12:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- No - it was definitely meant to cross the Shoalhaven on the old bridge. I have at least two books that confirm this. The bridge over Bomaderry Creek is an old freight line that would have been separate from the main line. The main line I think was supposed to continue along the south side of Bolong Road, then cross over Bomaderry Creek and onto the bridge alignment - but the whole layout of the area has changed so much since the railway line was built that it's probably impossible to tell where anything went.

- I am a bit suspicious about this. Grahamec, I tend to agree with you. JRG, can you please cite all those references you have in the article. The same story appears in the Nowra Bridge article. It would need references as well. Bleakcomb (talk) 03:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. My Gran said she had a map or knew someone with a map from the time or something. Robotboy2008 (talk) 06:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Paper mill siding
This siding or branchline no longer reaches the paper mill. It is probably still used by other industries along the way. Manildra Sugars I think used to use it. Perhaps Shoalhaven Starches. Historical and current industrial use would be an interesting inclusion to the article. Bleakcomb (talk) 04:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
