Re-opening

During the mid to late 1980s, the Daylesford Spa Country Railway (DSCR) used ganger's trolleys to convey passengers on short trips from Daylesford station to the Wombat State Forest, about halfway between Daylesford and Musk. On 15 September 1990, the DSCR began railmotor services between Daylesford and Musk, the first for the first time in 13 years. The section of line between Musk and Bullarto was reopened on 17 March 1997.

Musk Station consists of little more than a small platform and a tin shed, but is stopped at by most tourist services operated by the DSCR.
