The only lineside industry was the dairy at Moyhu. The majority of stations were name boards at road crossings.

The Whitfield line was the first of the 4 VR narrow gauge lines and was a test line in some respects, flat open country. Some plans to extend further into the mountains but never happened.

The last service from Whitfield.
The last train ran on 6/10/1953, the last trolley on 10/10/1953.
The line closed beyond Moyhu to trains on February 1952 due to bush fire damage.
