[1] The Wonthaggi railway line started about 2 miles (1.5 km) east (38°20′35.29″S 145°41′37.35″E / 38.3431361°S 145.6937083°E / -38.3431361; 145.6937083) of Nyora,[2] having originally being surveyed to be much closer to Loch,[3] so as to follow the Bass River valley, and avoid any steep gradients.
This new surveyed light railway route would save costs and no bridge would be built over Berry's Road in Nyora (38°20′48.88″S 145°41′41.32″E / 38.3469111°S 145.6948111°E / -38.3469111; 145.6948111) on Crown Allotment 2035 Parish Of Jeetho West.
Woodleigh is located in the Bass Coast Shire, and was almost the second station on the line, when settlers asked for a closer station to Nyora,[8] and Crown Allotment 2004 in the Parish Of Jeetho West, where the line crosses the South Gippsland Highway on the north side (at 38°22′16.49″S 145°40′34.84″E / 38.3712472°S 145.6763444°E / -38.3712472; 145.6763444), was put aside for this purpose.
The station building is now located in the Coal Creek Community Park and Museum at Korumburra, where it relocated there in 1972.
[12] Originally the entry to the park prior to the present foyer being built in the 1980s, it now houses the Railway Museum.
