History
Nairne station opened on 27 November 1883, as the interim terminus of the Adelaide-Wolseley line.[1] The station's facilities were similar to that of Balhannah, except the station building was made of stone. Nairne had two platforms, the smaller one had a 45-metre platform with a small shelter.
The station closed on 31 December 1990 when the Adelaide-Mount Gambier passenger service ceased. The original station building and goods shed remain, but the smaller platform was demolished around 1994 during works to convert the line to standard gauge.
