Description

The branch to the harbour served the west side of the North Harbour where there were several sidings alongside a timber yard and the North Pier. The site was directly west of the graving dock. A small building remains here today. A street tramway continued to a turnplate by Bridge Street. From here further tramways continued north to several sidings on the centre pier of the North Harbour, Scotts Pier, and south to sidings on the West Pier of the South Harbour.

The railway to the harbour left Peterhead station goods yard and skirted the town to the north, approaching the harbour from the north. The slaughterhouse to the north of the harbour was also served.

It was cut back to the north shipyard by Port Henry, where a new set of sidings was prepared around 1900. Final closure of the branch was in 1939.
