Two railway buildings still stand at the site of Castle Douglas station in 2021. One is the stone built goods shed, in use as a hardware store (see image [[34786]]), the other is this heavily disguised British Railways standard prefabricated concrete Provender Shed in use as a fast food establishment. These buildings were once common in goods yards around the country. To see what they look like in their normal guise see photos of Newpark, [[57747]], Masham [[47340]] and Sedbergh [[49371]].
