StationName and dates
Sourden (1858-1866)Opened on the Morayshire Railway.
Description
This was a small station to the west of the Pool of Sourden and just west of Bridge Sourden. An early closure it existed for 18 years. The 1862 opening of the line between Elgin East and Rothes led to its closure in 1866 and eventually led to the closure of the line in 1880. The track remained in place for some time afterwards.
It is marked on Ordnance Survey maps as 'Sourden Siding'.
The station appears to have consisted of a single platform on the north side of the line and a nearby railway cottage, which disappears on maps following closure.
The trackbed remains partly intact here and overgrown.
