Coragulac station was not part of the original railway plans, but was included after residents asked for a station to be provided at 'Glendenning's Corner'. The station was the busiest on the line due to it being located in the middle of an onion growing area, as well as being located on the main road leading north-east away from the railway.

The station had a passenger platform with shelter, located opposite a goods loop siding. In 1925 local farmers funding the provision of ramps to assist in the loading of bagged potatoes and onions, due to the difficultly in using the goods platform provided by the Victorian Railways.
