This branchline is 84 km in length, and was opened to Singlewood in 1924, to serve agricultural development in the Springbok Flats area. It was extended to Zebediela in 1928 to serve a developing irrigation farming community. This eventually became the largest citrus estate in Africa – if not the world.

After transport deregulation, much of the line’s traffic went over to road although a lime operation at Immerpan continued to use rail until early 2003. This too has now closed and the branchline is currently inactive.

Immerpan (64 km east of Mookgophong on the Zebediela branch) A lime works was still loading lime products at this point in the 2003 – 2004 period but this has since ceased, and there is no service on the Zebediela branch.
