Australia. The station had a single platform on the east side of the broad gauge line, with the standard gauge line running behind. The station opened in 1887 as ''Synon's Siding'', to serve a sawmill of the same name. In 1888 it was renamed ''Creighton's Creek'' which was then shortened to ''Creighton''.
By 1901 the station was open only for firewood traffic, but reopened in 1908 with additional sidings. In 1911 the main line was slewed away from the platform along number 2 road, leaving it on a loop siding.
This remained until 1916 when the station was again rebuilt, a new goods shed and sidings provided, in addition to a new station building and 30 lever
signalling frame. The station was closed to all traffic except for truck loads of goods on 25 July 1965 and then removed in 1967.
Today there is nothing left of the station.
