The original plans were to run the third road right to Petrie. It was going
to
join up with the Down side stabling road (which is never used) and rejoin
the Down Main short of the Down platform. Seems QR may not have
wanted to fork out for a bridge for the Pine River. That's the only reason
it's
merging at Lawnton.
