Description

The first station site at Fushiebridge was slightly cramped and located to the south of the road bridge. This was later the site of the goods yard only.

The passenger station was re-located north of the road overbridge, see Fushiebridge [2nd].

Also known as Fushie Bridge and Fushie.

As a goods yard there were sidings on either side of the line.

From the northbound line there was a siding, reached by reversal, which led to the Esperston Quarry via a reversing spur to the south east. The north end of the siding had a loading bank served by a headshunt - at first a goods shed was located on the headshunt.

The goods yard was connected to the southbound line, reached by reversal from a point opposite the signal box (1897-1960). There was a loading bank alongside the main line and further goods siding to the east. Also served was the mineral branch to Vogrie Colliery, Vogrie Colliery No 2 and Edgehead Colliery.
