On 11 March 1884, the
Eastern Railway first route opened from
Guildford to
Chidlow via
Greenmount and
Sawyers Valley. Bellevue did not initially have a station. On 1 July 1896, the
second route opened, deviating from the first route at Bellevue, going via
Swan View and
Parkerville to rejoin the original line at
Mount Helena. The first route remained open. Bellevue station was built in the late 1890s on the site of 24 Mile Siding, 2.1 kilometres east of
Midland Junction with an
island platform. On 2 July 1900, a 400-metre line from Bellevue to
Helena Vale Racecourse opened. This closed on 17 April 1963. The 17 kilometre section of the first route between
Mountain Quarry and Mount Helena closed on 24 January 1954, with the final 4.3 kilometre section from Mountain Quarry closed on 31 December 1965. The second route closed on 13 February 1966 to be replaced by the
standard gauge third route. Operations in the vicinity of the western part of the Bellevue railway station were considered to be part of the
Midland Junction marshalling area in later years of operation. Services to Bellevue station were withdrawn on 31 December 1965 and the station closed. ==Proposed new station==
