Unmanned location on the Port Augusta-Hawker Line . A dead end siding was provided possibly to allow for defective rolling stock to be cut from a train before the steep descent to the coast plain.
True to its name, it is the highest point on the line at 406m (1332ft).
The line from Port Augusta to Quorn was closed in 1956 but the section from Quorn to Summit was still used by special passenger excursion trains from Peterborough in the 1960s.
The location became part of the Pichi Richi Railway in 1974.
