The Signal Box on Reeve Street was erected in 1888 and has seen little change since it was first built. There have been some slight alterations to accommodate changes in technology and rail operations, and some timber detailing has been removed.
Originally the end of the line, the station was located near the intersection of Cunninghame and Raymond Streets. Once the line was extended to Bairnsdale, trains had to shunt back out of the town to continue on their journey. In 1983, the station was relocated to its present site in Pettit Drive and the original station site redeveloped as Gippsland Centre Sale. The Signal Box and railway gates were retained in-situ as a reminder of the original railway line and station.
The signal box museum is open from 10am – 2pm on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.
Admission: gold coin donation.
