History
It is unclear when the station opened.
North of the station lie the Islington Railway Workshops.[2] To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook. Opposite the station lay a TNT yard that was also used by Holden. The yard had closed by the late 1990s, and remained unused until 2008 when it was completely demolished to make way for a new residential development, which may include the station being re-built or upgraded. In 2014, decontamination of the site commenced.[3]
