HILTON

Hilton is on an old main line section on the Durban to Johannesburg main line. This section of line between Pietermaritzburg and Cedara is now closed, with even the section from Cedara to Hilton now inoperable due to the sleeper theft. The lever frame and signals are still there, but are long out of use, with the signals x'd out. This page shows a number of views of the home signals that contolled entry into the main line and loop at the station. There was also an outer home and distant signal on the Cedara end of the station, and a distant only at the Pietermaritzburg end due to an incline. Thanks for Greg Hart for information and Derick Norton for the picture.
