Opened with the line, Drysdale station served the town itself as well as Clifton Springs. It was the main intermediate station on the Queenscliff line.
Much of the early passenger traffic was generated by the Clifton Springs Health Spa Resort. The opening of the railway killed off the majority of the shipping trade to Drysdale. In it's later days agricultural produce was the main outbound traffic.
