History

The station opened on 20 October 1893, and a platform was later added on 4 November. The station along with the rest of the loop line was closed in 1978.

The station is located on a crossing loop. The original station building was demolished after burning down. The current platform was built for by the NSW Rail Museum (RTM) for their tourist service in the 1990s.

RTM (through Transport Heritage NSW) operates heritage steam and diesel trains on the line to the station, from Thirlmere & Picton, most weekends.
