The goods yard was on the west side of the line, approached from the north. This connected with the Glenlossie Railway which served Longmorn Distillery, Benriach Distillery and Glenlossie Distillery.
The box closed in 1967.
The station and line closed in 1968.
The station remains in a good state of repair as it is maintained by the Longmorn Distillery.
The footbridge was relocated to Aviemore Speyside on the Strathspey Railway (Preserved).
