History
The station opened on 1 August 1885 as Redbank and was renamed Thirlmere in 1886.[1] The station, along with the Loop Line, was closed in 1978.
The station buildings have been restored by volunteers from the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum in Thirlmere.
Occasionally, the Museum operates steam heritage trains between Thirlmere, Picton and Buxton, which run on the line through the station.[2]
