The Yilliminning-Kondinin railway line passed through Dudinin in preference to Wogolin, only 6 miles north along the Rabbit proof fence. By Christmas 1913, a Public Works Department site camp was established at Dudinin and the railway line proceeded northwards to Jitarning. On 15 March 1915 the railway line through to Kulin was taken over by the Government and on 16 March it was officially opened. Businesses in the town of Wogolin, which had developed to have a store, school, hall, and other amenities, relocated the buildings and functions to the newly established settlement at the Dudinin Siding. Wogolin Gate School was established in 1911, and had been closed before the building was relocated to Dudinin in 1921. Many children rode their horses to school, and bush stables were constructed to provide for the horses. The school was used until 1959 /1960. In 1956 a new school was constructed in Dudinin within the townsite.
