[edit] Sharp Curves
Someone wrote:
Unconfirmed sources report that Wollstonecraft station owes its existence to the fact that the chairman of the private company that constructed the North Shore line lived there, and insisted on having the line diverted through the suburb solely for his personal convenience.
The reason for the sharp curves throught Wollstonecraft station is to increase the distance and reduce the steep gradient from say 1 in 40 if the line were straight to 1 in 50 with the sharp curves. The gradient eases to 1 in 100 through Waverton and Wollstonecraft stations.

[edit] Government line.
The North Shore line including the extension to Old Milsons Point was always a government line, and was never a private line. Private landholders may have had an influence in where the stations were built.
