[1] The first stage of the Brown's Well railway line opened from Tailem Bend to Wanbi on 6 January 1913,[4] and extended to Paruna by the end of April the same year.

[7][8][9] The last grain train left the silos on 20 June 2015, marking the closure of the line.

The railway branched off the main line just south of Tailem Bend, and tracked roughly north-east.

The line no longer continues to Loxton station, having been curtailed at a bulk grain facility a few kilometres short of the town.

The end of the main line became the grain terminal at what was originally the Tookayerta siding.
