In 1976, a siding leading to the dock platform was abolished.The station was the junction for a short branch line to Cohuna. The line opened on 10 November 1915, and it closed in 1981, with the connection to the line removed by July 1988.In 2016/2017, the station was recorded as the least used railway station in Victoria, with an average of 2.42 boardings per day.Disused stations Avonmore, Wellsford, Bagshot and Huntly are located between Elmore and Bendigo.
