Starting from Tidmouth, the line passes by a goods station, behind the engine sheds and underneath a road bridge.^[1] The line then travels south-east to Elsbridge, where it connects with services along Thomas' Branch Line. Continuing south-east, it reaches a bend in the line where James derailed into a cow field. Eventually, the line reconnects with the Main Line just west of the Viaduct, where services continue onto Wellsworth.

Afterwards, the line continues east before taking a sharp turn south and reaching the Sodor Construction Company's yard on the outskirts of Crosby town. Further south, the line passes the shed where Elizabeth was abandoned and reconnects with the Main Line at a junction close to the Coal Hopper, where trains travel west to Crosby.
