Coal train at Alloa, 1965
Standard Class 4 2-6-0 76110 has picked up a train from the marshalling yard http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6159311 and is proceeding east through the station.
Passenger services ceased in 1968, but the line remained open for freight. Passenger services resumed in 2008 between Stirling and Alloa, but with a new station. The new situation can be seen here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1010303 - the bridge in that view is the same as this one.

Site of Alloa station, 1991
View eastward, towards Kinross Junction, Thornton Junction via Oakley and Dunfermline Upper also via Culross and Dunfermline Lower, these being ex-NBR routes from Stirling, also ex-Caledonian services came from Larbert. This important junction station was closed on 7/10/68 - for goods not until 13/7/74, but happily this scene of desolation has passed, for a substantial new station was opened on 19/5/08, with a passenger service from Glasgow via Stirling over a line still kept open for coal traffic to Longannet Power Station on the Kincardine line - the half-rusted track seen here on the right. (See Image] by A.M. Jervis). Alloa station had lost its passenger services gradually: Dunfermline via Culross 7/7/30, Kinross Junction 15/6/64, Larbert 29/1/68, Stirling - Alloa - Oakley - Dunfermline 7/10/68.

Taken from Erskine Street bridge, this shows the re-laid single line railway from Stirling curving round the leisure centre that was built on the old station site. On the left is the town centre bypass road and the fairly modern police station built on the site of an earlier bus station.

Coal train at Alloa, 1965
Standard Class 4 2-6-0 75110 has picked up a train from the marshalling yard http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6159311 and is proceeding east through the station. The bay platforms of the station are a reminder of the branch lines to Alva and Larbert which had already closed for passengers. Alloa would lose its passenger service in 1968.
The site of the station is now occupied by a leisure centre, with just a single track remaining on the far right hand side of the picture. When a passenger service to Stirling was reinstated in 2008 a new station was built to the east.
