Unmanned station and terminus on the Gladstone-Wilmington Line . The town of Wilmington is located about half a mile to the west of the station.
Station and goods loops, a grain siding, loco coaling and watering facility. A turning WYE.
Proposals were made to extend the line from Wilmington to Quorn or Port Augusta but never progressed to firm plans.
The Gladstone-Wilmington Line is unsignalled. Normally only a single train is permitted on the line at any one time.
The line was closed in 1990 and the track from Melrose to Wilmington has been converted into a rail trail.
