In September 1987, the signal box and all signals were abolished, except for one post, and the station was disestablished as a block post. All points were spiked normal, and were removed at a later date.
Since around 1990, the station building Melbourne-bound side has been leased by a community radio station, KLFM, while the smaller down-side building has been leased in the past. In April 2008, renovations were carried out to the down-side building, including re-stumping and the replacement of weatherboards.
