[edit] History
The station was the original terminus of the main north line when it opened in 1857, before the line was extended to Gawler in 1860. A station building and ticket office of the same design as those at North Adelaide station were provided. A short branch line running almost due west to the Smithfield munitions storage depot was built during the Second World War. This branch line was closed around 1961 when part of the depot was closed and the land sold for subdivision.
The original station building and ticket office were demolished during the mid to late 1980s. By that time, the station building had been heavily vandalised. Station shelters like the ones at Dry Creek were installed, and these remained until the current[when?] station shelter was erected. At the same time, the down (Gawler side) platform was upgraded.
