Initially the gypsum was extracted on the surface, but subsequently using underground mines accessed via adits.
The line was 2.57 kilometres (1.60 mi) long and of 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge.
It had a continuous downhill gradient from the mines to the station, and loaded trains were run down this by gravity.
