Nicholson railway station was opened on 10 April 1916 as part of the Orbost railway line and closed on 24 August 1987.[1][2]
Little trace remains of the station site, however a station name board exists at the site as part of the East Gippsland Rail Trail, which follows the route of the former rail line.[3]
