Opened in 1847 by the Caledonian Railway on the line from Carlisle to Glasgow, this station closed to passengers in 1960 and completely in 1964, and was demolished. View south east towards Kirkpatrick and Carlisle. A business estate now partly occupies the site and no trace of the station apparently remains. More trees have grown in the 19 years since Image was taken from the same position.
