Deepdene railway station was on the Outer Circle railway line, which opened on 24 March 1891 and closed to the public on 9 October 1927 due to lack of passengers. The train which ran on the line was known by locals as the "Deepdene Dasher". A documentary called Melbourne's Forgotten Railway - The Outer Circle, which details the history of the line, was released in 2014.^[5]

The railway has been converted into the Outer Circle Railway Anniversary Trail, a walking and cycling path,^[6] which includes informative signs detailing the history of the line.
