Pietermaritzburg district. Bridge built over the Umsindusi River near Mason's Mill between Pentrich and Pietermaritzburg railway station comprising a 30,8-metre steel girder span flanked by two 3,05 concrete arches and a 12,2-metre span over Edendale Road. This 5,2 km deviation was brought into use on 8 July 1906 and replaced the original alignment opened in 1880 between the earlier Umsindusi Station and Pietermaritzburg Station. (This new alignment linked at Napier Junction to the Cape-Natal line opened in 1904 between Pietermaritzburg and Elandskop.) The doubling of this section was opened first from Pietermaritzburg to Napier Junction on 23 May 1915 and from Napier Junction to Pentrich on 20 August 1916. A section of this alignment was replaced when the marshalling yard was built in 1926.

Pietermaritzburg, 1916. A section of the "Town Hill Deviation", opened in 1916 between Pietermaritzburg and Cedara (first named Rietspruit). It provided an easier graded route on 1 in 50 as opposed to the punishing 1 in 30 gradient of the 1884 alignment between Pietermaritzburg and Howick (later Merrivale). This alignment was in turn replaced in 1960 with the opening of the 6023-metre Cedara twin tunnels. A new Cedara Station was built at the north tunnel portals, and the old Cedara was renamed Aradec.
