View eastward, towards Dumfries: ex-G&SW main line from Dumfries and Carlisle, joint with the Caledonian Railway on to Stranraer, also the junction for Kirkcudbright. Nothing original seemed to be visible in 1986, the station having been closed since 14/6/65 when the whole line between Dumfries and east of Stranraer at Challoch Junction - where the line from Ayr joined, was closed; the Kirkcudbright branch having succumbed on 3/5/65.
