[3] The station was originally a pair of side platforms on a double track railway, and was set in the middle of a landscaped reserve 30.5 m (100 ft) wide, that ran between Boundary and Graham Streets, a remnant of a short lived Parliamentary provision that railway reservations be 100 yards in width.

[5] By the 1960s, traffic to the port had dropped due to changes in cargo handling, and so in 1961, the branch to Princes Pier was reduced to a single track and worked as a siding, rather than a main line.

Further rationalisations were made in December 1969, when the line from Graham to Port Melbourne was singled, with the up track lifted, and the up platform taken out of service.

The Graham Street level crossing, at the down end of the station, was abolished by October 1970, when grade separation was carried out.

[6] The last passenger train ran through the station on 10 October 1987, after it was announced that the line would be converted to light rail.
