Continuing, the line crosses a 99 x 20' openings bridge over the Campaspe River, passes an unnamed and closed road, enters Bank 44, enters a 40C radius right curve, commences an up grade, enters a bridge section, crosses unnamed road (Axedale-Kimbolton Road) and track (closed road/track from Raglan Place to this location) as fenced and unalterd, via a 13 x 15' openings bridge, followed by named Native Creek and an Allotment Line.
The line then crosses a sandstone reef, a culvert, an Allotment Line, the curve ends, the line crosses another sandstone reef, a culvert, enters Cutting 49, enters a 30C radius right curve, crosses an Allotment Line, passes a diverted watercourse, crosses a track, the curve ends, it passes an unnamed and closed road, tops the grade before exiting the cutting at the future site of the Axedale Racecourse Platform.
Axedale Racecourse Platform was not part of the original line construction. However, it was siuated at the crest of the rise in Cutting 49. The cutting necessitated the closure of an unnamed road at the top of the cutting. A track and two Allotment Lines were crossed before the line exited the general area of the platform.
