The first station at Rumbling Bridge was a short lived terminus for the line approaching from the east. After extension westwards this original alignment would have resulted in a long steep approach from the west and the engineer of the North British advised that the line should be lowered into a cutting and a new station built, resulting in closure of the first station and its approach and the lowering of the line into a deep cutting. This view looks south west to the stations and shows the infilled cutting of the approaching line. See image 13689.
