At the midpoint of the route, a short road branches off to the east, connecting with Dalton, a siding on the Canadian Pacific Railway's transcontinental line.
Land at Meadowbank, New South Wales was cleared, a railway siding built and a tram road made to the wharf.
In 1970, the first run of the Indian Pacific between Sydney and Perth was completed, but not after the railway siding having to be moved after one of the carriages collected the siding in the trial stage.
When a railway siding was eventually established at this spot, the name was adopted, and it stuck after the discovery of gold in 1949 which resulted in a mushrooming settlement on the banks of the Sand River.
