No station infrastructure remains at the site of Jeetho. Station Street still exists in the Jeetho township, a gravel and dirt road leading to farm gates, but no longer to the former station.
The station could not be reinstated as part of the former South Gippsland Tourist Railway due to a realignment of the track in the late 1960s, which meant that the former platform site was about 3 metres from the rail line. As well, the Jeetho township is around 2 kilometres from the former station, meaning that there was no local community or attractions for visitors, even if the station had been re-established.
