A siding was first provided for the Australian Carbon Black petrochemical works in 1964. The company hired a R class steam locomotive for use as a stationary boiler. The siding was abolished in August 1990, with the site was later being occupied largely by Cabot Australasia (a paint manufacturer) until demolition in 2006.
