A photograph of the railway construction workers camp near Triholm at Poowong East for the Strzelecki Rail Line in 1922.
Construction of the line began in 1915 and was opened in 1922.
The line was completely closed in 1950 with the closure of the Catani and Yannathan stations.
As was the practice of the railways at the time, the name was often given to the station that was either from the property name or the owner of the property on which the station was established.
Triholm was the name given to the selection of Neils Peter Olsen taken up in 1877. The name referred to a region in his homeland of Denmark.
The descendants of Neils Peter Olsen still farm properties at Poowong East.
