Description

This was a two platform station. The main station building was on the northbound platform with a waiting room on the southbound. There was no footbridge, instead there were ramps up to the road bridge to the south.

The goods yard was laid out with two groups of sidings: loading bank sidings to west and goods shed to east. It was on the west side of the station and approached from the north.

The signal box was at the north end of the station and on the west side alongside the goods yard's connection to the line.

The station closed to passengers in 1961. The signal box closed in 1961 only to reopen in 1971 and finally close in 1974.

The line remains open. The small village of Closeburn is to the west of the station site. The former station building is now a house. The timber goods shed still stands. The coal yard is still in operation.

Closeburn Quarry Signal Box was to the north.
