The town of Kilmore is some distance to the west, at a much higher elevation, and was unable to be served directly by the main-line railway.
There is a disused goods shed at the station, as well as a staffed signal box.[3] Approximately three kilometres in the down direction from the station is a siding which is used to load material from the Apex quarry.
