View westward, towards buffer-stops; ex-Caledonian terminus of branch from Bridge of Dun, also from Forfar via Careston and from Edzell. Services from Edzell had ceased on 27/9/38, those Forfar and from Bridge of Dun on 4/8/52 and the station was closed to passengers, but the lines from Careston survived until 17/3/58 and from Edzell until 7/9/64, but local freight continued to Brechin until 4/5/81. Since then the Heritage Caledonian Steam Railway (Brechin) has reopened the line to Bridge of Dun.
