A manned station on the <span style="font-weight: 700; color: white; background-color: black;">&#160;Gladstone-Wilmington&#160;Line&#160;</span> until 1983 when all the station staff on the line were withdrawn. It was a standing joke in the '''SAR''' that a station named "Stone Hut" would have a station building made from sheets of corrugated iron. The name "Stone Hut" actually refers to a small original stone building located near the station. A track repair gang was based at '''Stone Hut''' for many years.<br>

 

Station and goods siding loops.<br>

 

The '''Gladstone-Wilmington Line''' is '''unsignalled'''. Train Order working is in operation on the line.<br>

 

Passenger services ended in 1969. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has since been removed. Now only the original station masters cottage survives and a series of interpretive signs placed around the former yard are the only visible evidence of the railway.<br>

 

The former right-of-way from just south of '''Laura''' to '''Wilmington''' is now an 80km walking, cycling and horse riding trail, the '''[https://www.railtrails.org.au/trails/southern-flinders-rail-trail/ Southern Flinders Rail Trail]'''.
