Mining
Following the failure of Messrs G & C Hoskins in 1915 to persuade the New South Wales Government to construct a branch railway from the sidings at Spring Hill to the mines at Cadia where they had agreed to remove the ironstone overlay for processing in the ironworks at Lithgow, the company decided to construct a private railway line ["The Cadia Ironstone Railway, Spring Hill" Eardley, Gifford Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, January, 1971 pp1-9; February, 1974 pp40-43] from the Iron Duke Copper Mine at Cadia to the Great Western Railway at Spring Hill. The line remained until 1945, having enjoyed a renaissance during the Second World War.
