From 1911 to 1964, Macleod was the junction of the short, freight-only, Mont Park branch line, which served the Mont Park psychiatric hospital. Platform 3 was built on the alignment of the former branch in the late 1970s, as were three sidings immediately to the south of the station. A number of train services terminate at Macleod, before proceeding to the sidings to stable.
