first F class Nairne station opened on 27 November 1883 as the interim terminus of the
Adelaide–Wolseley line. The station's facilities were similar to that of
Balhannah, except the station building was made of stone. Nairne station 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 about 1994 during works to convert the line to standard gauge. The building in 2024 is the headquarters of the Nairne & Districts Lions Club, which has, as one of its projects, the renovation and rehabilitation of the station precinct. ==References==
