Long Gully railway station is located in Belair National Park, South Australia. It is about 26.7km by railway from Adelaide Railway Station. The original plan was for the siding to be named "Minnow". The layout of the passing siding is unusual as, being on an "S" in the main line, traffic in both directions defaulted to the sharper left side while crossing the points to enter the yard - this anomaly was removed during the Adelaide/Melbourne Standardisation Project when the passing siding was replaced by a single line.
Long Gully was a very useful station for hikers and bike riders, as the station was located within the national park.
The station was different from the others on the defunct Bridgewater line, as it consisted of a staffed ticket office/signal cabin, which closed in 1977 with the introduction of Centalised Traffic Control (CTC). There was a single platform on the northern part of the track which was converted from timber to prefabricated concrete in the early 1970s, it also had a small loading platform servicing the siding line.
The station was predominantly staffed by men, housed with their families, in one of three houses within the station yard boundaries.
Long Gully station was closed in 1987 along with the Bridgewater line. The ticket office and nearby houses were demolished shortly after but most of the platform remains in place.

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
