Powerscourt is a closed railway siding located 5 km (3 mi) east of Maffra, on the Maffra railway line in Victoria, Australia. It was 223 km (139 mi) from Southern Cross station. The siding was used to load sugar beet.[1][2]
Last year the Railway Department loaded 1216 tons of beet at Powerscourt station, and the estimate for the present season is no less than 7000 tons. This will represent about twelve truck loads per day from Powerscourt to Maffra.
