The Australasia Coal Company operated a mine near Kotara, in the valley below the present-day northern entrance to the "Tickhole" railway tunnels. A private railway connected the screens with the Government line near the present-day triangle junctions north of Broadmeadow. Surveying for the line commenced in 1875 and the line was completed in April, 1877. However only a total of 9,052 tons was ever produced and the company went into liquidation in June, 1879 [Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, September, 1964 pp161-165] .
