OC has been inaccessible by rail since the Feb 2022 steel train derailment. Before then it was last used in 2019 for LVR to store their CPH railmotor set while it was in the area for Beef Week tours.

This view looking toward up-end on the mainline shows the yard layout slightly better. 807km post is just behind the photographer. Former OC dead-end siding on the right. It looks like the points for this were straight-railed just before closure in 2004. The frog was still sitting in the grass next to it when this photo was taken. Former Blue Circle Cement loop and shed in middle distance on the left, and OC loop visible too.

While most photos of the first Casino station (now Old Casino) are taken from the track side, this photo from the Kerry collection held by the Chau Chak Wing Museum art the University of Sydney is from the "other" side and shows a fine collection of horse drawn vehicles. The photo is between October 1903 (when the station opened) and 1915, as that is the latest date of photos in the collection.
