[2] Immediately to the west of the station, the Fockerby Branch, which continued eastwards, turned off from the main line to Epworth, which curved to the south.

A Directors' train, consisting of a contractor's engine and two open trucks, ran on 26 June 1900, and included a trial run to Crowle over the Isle of Axholme Light Railway line.

Eastoft station was noted to be complete, and the inspector expected Reedness Junction, Luddington and Garthorpe to be finished to a similar standard.

A second tank was erected near the pumping station, but after consideration, the cost of replacing the pipe with a 4-inch (10 cm) one was not thought to be justified.

[9] The railway company held a heated debate in 1906, when Colonel Thompson requested permission for a group of about 16 female potato pickers to be allowed to walk from the station through Reedness Goods Yard, and then cross over Swinefleet Warping Drain by walking along the main line of the railway.

His request was to reduce the distance that the ladies had to walk to work each day, and was granted, although the Colonel had to indemnify the railway against claims if any of them were involved in an accident while following this route.
