History
The station was opened in 1928 along the sidings at Holden's Woodville factory so that cars could be dispatched by rail to interstate destinations. This was also to provide commuter transport for workers after the 1920s and 1930s saw significant development of heavy industry in Woodville and the neighbouring areas. It closed in 1992 and was subsequently demolished following the decline of the heavy industry in the region and the consequent loss of commuters.
