History

John Lysaght commenced operations in 1918, and began manufacturing galvanised steel at Spring Hill in 1936.[8] As the Port Kembla branch line, which opened in 1916,[9] cut through the Lysaght site, a station was established in 1938 to cater to the company's workforce. The station has minimal facilities beyond its original skillion-roofed waiting shed and a 1986 pedestrian footbridge.[citation needed]
