Description
This was a single platform station. The platform was to the north of the line and there was a large station house. Two goods loops were to the south of the running line, passing round a loading bank. There were two sidings, one approached from the west forming a bay in the loading bank, and a second to the south of the loops which was approached from the east.
The station house remains in use as a house. Platforms remain. To the west a road crossed over the line and this bridge remains intact.
Abercairny House was about a mile and a half to the north west. It was demolished in 1960 and a smaller house built
