(MAS)445
Marseilles was a junction station for the branch line to Maseru. The station had a signal cabin with a 48 lever frame, with Backstroke locking on the Home signals, also to note there was a separate platform line for the Maseru passenger trains, which made the Home signal on the west side look quite unique. Telegraph Orders were in use to Westminster & Modderpoort, and Wooden Train Staff to Maseru. By the 2000's this station had closed.
