 There were two inclines, called Cann Wood and Torycombe; they were of the counterbalanced self-acting type.There was a passing loop in the middle of each; above the loop there was a three-rail section, with the middle rail common; below the loop there was a single track.When the ascending and descending cuts crossed at the loop, the descending cut pushed through the points at the lower end of the loop, and they were therefore correctly set for the next ascending cut.
