History

Long Plains railway station opened on 20 April 1917. The government-owned South Australian Railways started to build the broad-gauge Salisbury–Long Plains line as a branch off the Main North line in 1915, completing it in April 1917. The line was later extended to Redhill from 1917 to 1925, and again from there to Port Pirie in 1937. In the latter year, the Commonwealth Railways extended its standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway line from Port Augusta south to Port Pirie.

Closure

Regular passenger services to Port Pirie ceased in the early 1980s; there is no longer any trace of the station.
