Kerry station was provided with its own locomotive shed which was used to house the locomotives that worked the Kerry branch. The shed is seen in this view looking north in 1949.

At the eastern end of Kerry station there was a point indicator signal which is seen in this view looking east. The centre arm swung from side to side, thus indicating for which route the points were set. The fixed arm on the left is showing 'Stop' to trains exiting the siding coming in from the left. When the points were opened for the siding, the arm would have swung over to give the 'Stop' indication to the 'main' line. The structure beyond the signal ensured that wagons leaving Kerry were within the loading gauge of the main lines.
