Giri's Road PCR. The name of this road comes from the Giri brothers who occupied land each side of the road between the crossing and nearby McIvor Road (Highway). The line continues into Crown Land that contained several gold mines in the latter half of the 1880s.

The line topped a rise at the end of a cuve before descending and continuing towards Axedale Station.
Acott Mine PCR. Shown on the contract as a PCR Crossing with gates. The crossing existed to provide access to the Acott Quartz Mining Company's gold mine. There were several tracks shown on the contract, one of which led to the nearby Acott Hotel on McIvor Road, to the left of the image.
