Hummocks Station was well utilised as at its prime it had a ladies waiting room and clarks office, livestock yard and a large area dedicated to bagged grain, with at least one of these bagged areas having a roof able to cover 50,000 bags
As you will notice this area is surrounded by Samphire flats so it was not uncommon for the roads to the siding to be flooded during the wetter months but the demise of this station came about because of a change in agriculture, the introduction of Bulk Handling in 1952.
There were two fatal accidents near this station,both at the Ardrossan road crossing, one of those involved the unique "Bluebird" that once frequented the Adelaide to Moonta line.The last passenger service on this line finnished in 1969 and the South Hummocks Railway Station closed in 1975.
