The station opened as the intermediate stop in 1870 and was then closed to passengers in 1951[2] however freight traffic continued until closure in 1964.

The pedestrian footbridge lay at the west end of the station and the line was single track to Wilsontown.

The ticket office and waiting room was brick built with a canopy, on the north side of the line.

At this time the west bound line was lifted, the pedestrian overbridge removed and at the triangular junction with the main line only the west to south curve was retained.

In 1958 the old ticket office was still present and a level crossing was located at the west end of the old station.
