An isolated line was authorised by the South-Eastern Railway Act in 1871 and completed in 1876 from the port at Kingston SE inland via Lucindale to Naracoorte as narrow gauge.
For the first six months after the line was completed, no locomotives were available, so wagons on the line were towed by horses.
It was converted to broad gauge with a new terminus one kilometre east of Kingston, on the edge of the port township in 1957.
It closed on 28 November 1987[1] and was dismantled on 15 September 1991.
