Went there a few years ago, before they put in the piece of track, apart
from a few old earthworks in the bush that could've been anything, I
couldn't really see any rail remains.  The map would have been very handy
for that trip!  The Weeaproinah town sign appears to be the old station
sign?

BTW what was the original purpose of the extension to Crowes?  The area
seems pretty devoid of any industry or anything - Did it supply timber to
the mill at Beech Forest or was there some other produce coming from that
end?
