It opened on 22 July 1872, with the current station provided in 2010. [4]
The railway through Craigieburn originally opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to School House Lane. [4] When the station opened, there was a small timber station building, which was replaced by a larger building in 1878, having the same design as other small stations on the line. In 1874, the station opened to goods traffic. In 1920, a larger timber station building was constructed on Platform 1. [5]
The station originally had a passing loop, which was used regularly to cross trains until the line was duplicated in 1886. In 1899, a lever frame was provided on the down platform, which was moved to the new station building in 1922. [6] A number of goods sidings were provided at the station, with the last siding removed in 1982. In 1961, the old Hume Highway road overpass opened, replacing a level crossing, as part of the construction of the North East standard gauge project. In 1975, the former sheep and cattle races at the station were abolished. [7] In 1988, the signal box was closed, all signals were removed, and the station was abolished as a block post. [5] [6] [8] In 1996, a small building was constructed on Platform 1, housing a kiosk and ticket facilities. [9]
In 2007, the station was rebuilt as a premium station, as part of the extension of electrified services from Broadmeadows, [10] with a signal box, stabling sidings and a crossover between lines also provided.

In March 2009, Platform 1 was demolished and rebuilt to a similar design to Platform 2. [12] The track on Platform 1 was also electrified, and additional crossovers were provided at the up and down ends of the station, to allow down trains to diverge to the up line. [4]
On 4 May 2010, a collision between a Comeng train set and a Kilmore East-bound quarry train, hauled by Pacific National locomotive G524, occurred between Roxburgh Park and Craigieburn. [13] [14]
