Bruthen Railway Station was opened on Monday 10 April 1916 as part of the Orbost railway line. The station officially closed on Monday 24 August 1987.[1]

The former platform remains evident at the station site, with the site remaining as part of the East Gippsland Rail Trail, which follows the route of the former rail line. The station itself is slightly to the east of the town of Bruthen. In town the railway alignment and rail trail pass through a short tunnel below the main street and then skirt around the southern edge of Bruthen, crossing the large Storer Bridge over the Tambo River which is now sealed with boards as the rail trail surface.[2][3]
