Gradients

Linstead is at 400 feet^[2] while New Works is close below the 500 foot contour,^[3] so the line must have risen around 79 feet in its three miles for an average gradient of 1 in 200 or thereabouts.

Stations and Halts

There must have been at least 2 stations on the line:^[3]

• Linstead Station (Branch Terminus)
• New Works Station (Terminus)

Tunnels

There were no tunnels on the line.^[3]

Bridges

There were probably no significant bridges on the line as its junction with the Spanish Town to Ewarton line would have been north of the Rio Magno Gully Bridge^[4] (~75m)^[5] and there are no other significant water courses between Linstead and New Works.^[3]
