Brechin Goods [2nd] (1895-1981)Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.
Opened on the Aberdeen Railway.Description
The goods yard at Brechin was considerably expanded by the 1890s with the building of a second goods yard to the east of the original. It was located on the south side of the line and had a large timber goods yard.
This yard was approached from the terminus via a reversing spur parallel, and south of, the line to Bridge of Dun. This was a large goods yard with a large goods yard and several sets of sidings. South of the goods yard was City Sawmills [Brechin].
Brechin Shed [2nd] was also approached via the spur. Immediately to the north the lines to Brechin North Junction curved north from a junction facing the station.
The yard remained in use until closure of the line in 1981.
Sidings were lifted and the site is partly vacant. The goods shed has not survived. A large cobbled area and weighbridge remain here.
