12/9/1910
Renamed Moondarra from Pearson.
18/2/1937
Main line and loop transposed.
Peter Medlin suggests that this "was swapped over to suit a tramway that operated from the Mt. Erica side of the station. With the siding altered to the Mt. Erica side, the tramway could be left wagons for loading in the 'platform road' and the main line utilised the loop. The tramway opened in March, 1937, just after the lines had been transposed."
23/1/1946
Main line and loop transposed. (Reverted to original arrangements. Presumably the tramway had closed.)
