The Previous name of Blackridge was Zwaartkop & Swartkopskloof in the early days. This 1960's layout of the station shows it had Special Interlocking & Backstroke Locking on the Home Signals. During this time, this would of been the on the Old Main Line via Hilton and joining at Cedara, which was bypassing the New Main Line Cedara tunnel. Van Schoor Absolute was in use to Boughton & Winterskloof. By the 1980's Passenger Service over this line was coming to an end, & when C.T.C. was introduced on the Main Line, this station along Winterskloof was permanently closed and the new section "Boughton - Hilton" was introduced. By 1987 with the great floods, the line was washed away at Sweetwaters, and it was decided to lift the line from Boughton to Hilton.
