Opened in 1859 by the Castle Douglas & Dumfries Railway, later extended westwards to be part of the Portpatrick & Wigtownshire Joint Railway, this station closed in 1965. The railway line was known as 'The Port Road'. View east towards Buittle and Dumfries. Although the station was swept away by several later redevelopments (for example, see Image), the old goods shed was still extant when this image was taken, out of view to the right.
