The station was destroyed by fire on 7 March 1944.[1]
The former Public Transport Corporation had plans to sell the station in 1992, however this did not eventuate.[2]
Disused station Raywood is located between Dingee and Eaglehawk, while disused station Mitiamo is located between Dingee and Pyramid.
Dingee station is believed to be one of the least, or the most least used railway stations in Victoria, with the nearby Pyramid station currently serving only ~7 passengers a day. The data available for passenger patronage is so small it wasn't published in the most recent passenger patronage figures. The station currently serves the rural town of Dingee which has less than 200 residents.
