Rangelea Siding - is the name given to the Department of Defence siding that branches from the rail line from about a hundred metres on the Bendigo side of Atlas Road. It was renamed Rangelea in March, 1943. The line was closed beyond the points providing access to Rangelea in 1958. The siding effectively became the new end of the line and remained in operation for some years after, being used for Department of Defence purposes and wagon storage.
Approaching from Bendigo, Up direction, the turnout to the siding branches to the East, whereas the old main line swings slightly to the right through what is now the business yard of Spraypave.
