Description

This junction was east of Denny station, the start of a branch which ran north west to Vale Paper Works and Anchor Paper Mills at Dunipace, Ingliston Mine, Quarter Colliery Pit No 1 and Quarter Colliery Pit No 2. The main line continued west to Denny station and the lines west to Herbertshire Paper Mill and Carronrigg Colliery. To the east, on the south side of the line, sidings served Herbertshire Colliery Pit No 3.

The signal box at the junction closed in 1893, replaced by Denny box which was a little to the west.

Denny closed to passengers in 1935. The Ingliston branch closed in 1965 and the remaining line closed in 1971.
