Calbourne and Shalfleet railway station, was an intermediate  station of the  Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, incorporated  in 1860, opened over a ten-month period between 1889 and 1889 and closed 65 years later.
Situated between the two villages  and serving a moderately populous rural area  it was a "reasonably" successful station on an ultimately unprofitable  line.
Originally the station had a cottage style front but after absorption by the Southern a corrugated building from the acrimonious-split era was relocated to the site.
The station itself, situated on the down side,  has long been demolished and replaced with a modern bungalow; but the level-crossing keeper's cottage, a short distance away at Pounds Lane, is still visitable.
