Gradients
Linstead is at 400 feet while New Works is close below the 500 foot contour, so the line must have risen around 79 feet in its three miles for an average gradient of 1 in 200 or thereabouts.
Stations and Halts
There must have been at least 2 stations on the line:
- Linstead Station (Branch Terminus)
- New Works Station (Terminus)
Tunnels
There were no tunnels on the line.
Bridges
There were probably no significant bridges on the line as its junction with the Spanish Town to Ewarton line would have been north of the Rio Magno Gully Bridge (~75m) and there are no other significant water courses between Linstead and New Works.
