Opened in 1850 by the Stirling & Dunfermline Railway, this station closed to passengers in 1968 and completely in 1974. View west towards Cambus and Stirling. The island platform was located through the second arch from the left with the main building reaching up to the road bridge. As well as the current line from Dunfermline via Clackmannan, another line joined from the right, also from Dunfermline but via Oakley. Just over 10 years after this image was taken, the railway line was electrified.
