The station was the terminus for trains on the Brighton Beach line, which was built in 1859 and operated by the St Kilda and Brighton Railway Company. The Company also built the loop branch line connecting the Brighton line to the Melbourne to St Kilda line, which was opened in 1857.
Trains from Melbourne travelled to the St Kilda terminus, and then "backed out" onto the branch line to Windsor. The loop line was constructed on wooden trestles across the swampy grounds now known as the Albert Park Lake, and had a raised embankment with a bridge () over St Kilda Road. The first train on this loop line was on 3 December 1859, and opened to the public ten days later. There were no trains after 7pm on the branch line; patrons simply walked to their homes in Prahran from St Kilda station in Fitzroy Street.
A short time after the loop line was constructed a competing connection was built between Windsor and South Yarra stations, the first train arriving at Windsor directly from Melbourne on 24 November 1860. The loop line to St Kilda soon fell into disuse, and track duplication, a condition of the original crown lease, was never completed.
