Bumberrah Railway Station and siding was opened on Monday 10 April 1916 as part of the Orbost railway line. It was closed in 1977, with the last train passing the site in 1987.[1][2]

The former station grounds have been preserved, with a diversity of native flora on the site remaining as a result of it being protected from grazing stock during its time in service to the railways.

A station name board exists at the site, along with a rest shelter and information board in a remnant grassy woodland reserve, as part of the East Gippsland Rail Trail, which follows the route of the former rail line.[3][4]
