The station closed to passenger services in 1975, although it still physically exists and is occasionally used for coal trains visiting the nearby Clarence Colliery.
This station was located at the junction of the Dargans Creek deviation and the Newnes railway line (or Wolgan Valley Railway) which is situated about 500 metres (550 yd) north west of the current Newnes Junction Station.
After the Zig Zag deviation was completed the station was no longer needed for passenger services but stayed in use to finalise the recovery of parts from the Zig Zag and Clarence area along the Dargans Deviation.
The Wolgan Valley Railway closed in 1932 and for years the station had no use at all until the construction of the loop line that served the Clarence Colliery in the 1970s.
In 1957 electrification crossed the Blue Mountains and the sidings and colliery loop were electrified.
