Hello,
The Potts Hill line was used by the water board department for the Potts
Hill resivoir pumping station. It was opened on Monday the 16th of July 1928
and closed sometime in 1963 or 1967. The railway line curved away from the
Bankstown Line just North of Regents Park station and crossed Amy street, it
then followed the water supply tunnel and crossed over the Sefton to
Chullora goods line and the line then formed a loop and ended at the pump
house.

The line had ordinary train staff the steapest gradient was 1 in 33.
The line carried NSWGR rollingstock.

is this enough info?
