Belmont Branch

This was private railway line owned by the New Redhead Estate and Colliery Company. Although it was constructed mainly to serve numerous collieries in the area, it also conveyed passenger traffic, with sizeable facilities at Redhead and Belmont, as well as several other minor platforms. It was single-track for its entire length, and featured a 180m tunnel under the Pacific Highway at Adamstown Heights.

The last passenger train to Belmont ran on 8/4/1971.

Today, the track has been retained From Adamstown to Whitebridge and is used by walkers, horse- and bike-riders. From Whitebridge the track has been lifted and the formation is still obvious to past Jewells. Beyond this point the track is overgrown with dense vegetation.
