When the Ten Tunnels Deviation was completed in 1910, the (third) station was rebuilt on the new line (adjacent to the Chifley Road bridge) but was closed in 1974. Little trace of this third station now remains.[2]
The second station site has been re-used by the Zig Zag Railway (heritage railway) for its upper passenger connection point and car park.
