The Woodville signal cabin became obsolete after a resignalling project in the late 1980s and has been relocated to the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.

[3][page needed] In World War II several munitions and armaments factories were opened, which resulted in construction of two new industrial branch lines in the Woodville area.

It headed in a northerly direction and serviced a wartime munitions works at Cheltenham Park and a Government Supply Depot at Finsbury.

The line continued through Pennington to join the Dry Creek-Port Adelaide railway at Gillman Junction.

The original 1856 station building on the Port Adelaide-bound platform was demolished and a new signal cabin was provided adjacent to the Woodville Road level crossing.

This industrial line had limited passenger services, designed mainly to cater for workers at factories in the vicinity.
