On exiting the Strathfieldsaye Station, a few metres to the right of the Rail trail, the line continued over Wilkie Road PCR, the site of Gatekeeper No.3, removed in the 1890s.
In 1886 there was a significant watercourse as well as a One Chain Road here. The line resulted in closure of the road and the crossing of the watercourse by a 5 x 11' openings bridge. The closed road became Manning Court on the north side.
On the south side of the line, the closed road became the re-aligned corner of Binks Road. The bridge no longer exists as it was replaced by a culvert. A Council gravel reserve existed a few hundred metres to the south (right) of the line.
