History
Opened on 1 April 1886, the station comprised a single platform on the east side of the line. A loop was provided for running round, and the line continued north to an engine shed. Two sidings for the pier curved away to the east.
The station closed to passengers on 9 September 1939, however as the engine shed for the line was located here, the line remained in use.[1]
This line was scheduled for closure on 1 November 1965, however the landslide in Glen Ogle resulted in premature closure on 27 September 1965.

gollark: It might also cook the passenger, but that's a small price to pay for PROGRESS!
gollark: The *correct* way would of course be orbital satellites which generate a microwave beam focused on your Tesla, which it can then convert back to electricity.
gollark: It would also probably not be very efficient.
gollark: That was a joke.
