An engine shed was present on the WYE until 1915. The Gladstone-Wilmington Line is unsignalled. Train Order working is in operation on the line. Booleroo Centre was the terminus of the line from 1910 to 1915 which explains the presence of the turning WYE. It was also the busiest station on the line with both terminating and through freight services. There were no rail passenger services after 1969 with passengers now served by an infrequent bus service. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has since been removed. A variety of items, including a station nameboard, water column, goods crane and a switchstand, have been preserved as part of an interpretive display.
