Micabil NSW history: The location opened on the 10th of February 1919 and was closed on the 13th of July 1973. The video was recorded about 1.5km west of the siding which was 1,286 feet long. The little station waiting room now sits in the Condobolin Railway Museum yard having been saved prior to demolition. Micabil was a rural siding for farmers mainly sending baled wool and bagged grain to markets in Sydney NSW. Access to the siding was controlled by a two-lever ground frame at either end. The passenger platform was 134 feet long and had a small waiting shed. Micabil siding didn't have the luxury of the usual five-ton hand crane, common in many NSW rural locations. All freight was loaded on to wagons in the siding by manual labour. A small dam, beyond the fence line, on the Up Main side, was said to have been used to water horses that brought baled wool and bagged wheat to the siding in carts. Back in documents of the day, Micabil was quoted in Safe Working information as "a siding of 1,286 feet long with standing room for 61 wagons in clear." They would be the old four wheeled wagons and not bogies. A Loading Bank once existed at the top of the siding at the Condobolin end, nothing remains of it today as it was demolished some years back. Lumps of coal and cinders, from sitting steam locomotives, can still be seen along the former siding road.
