(KNF)799
Kloof Station was situated on top of Field's Hill. The layout remains the same today as in 1908. The code for this station (KNF) was the abbreviation of "Krantzkloof", the original name of Kloof. This 1960's layout had track circuiting and provisions were made for special interlocking (Facing Points Locks & Distant Signals) in the lever frame (spares). It had a level crossing through the station, but later a new bridge was built over the track at the Pinetown end of the station, eliminating the level crossing. Van Schoor was in operation to Pinetown and Hillcrest at this time. By the mid 1980's there were Eight suburban trains, (usually 4M2 sets), Two Wayside Goods Trains No.2110 (Up) and No.2115 (Down) & One Fast Parcels No.5502 that ran daily.. By then, Kloof station was only required to be open Monday to Fridays during the day, but during the weeks of October 1987, when floods hit the region, parts of the New Main Line were completely washed away, The Old Main Line came to the rescue and Kloof was open on a daily basis for 24 hours for about a month. 12-24 Main Line trains were booked in the Up direction after the evenings Trans Natal, then 12-24 Main Line trains in the Down direction following the Trans Natal in the morning, (amongst this the daily Waysides & Suburbans still ran). By 1988 traffic had dwindled down to just 4 Trains per day, No. 0017 Passenger from Cato Ridge early morning, & No. 2115 Wayside, and No. 0056 Passenger from Durban & No. 2110 Wayside. By the end of 1988, no commuter trains were left & little or no Goods traffic was required at Kloof, and the Station was seldom open and didn't justify having a full time Station Master / Foreman on duty, but it was always open when derailments on the New Main Line occurred, sometimes 3 crossings taking place at a time. By 1991 Kloof station had closed and all Signalling was removed.
