It served a very rural area in Dumfries and Galloway The line was closed to passengers during the Second World War.[1] Cairn Valley Junction lay to the east. HistoryThe CVR was nominally independent, but was in reality controlled by the Glasgow and South Western Railway.[2] The line was closed to passengers on 3 May 1943, during the Second World War[1] and to freight on 4 July 1949,[3] and the track lifted in 1953. The station was very basic with just a short wooden platform with a tin shelter and a siding with a loading bank for goods traffic.[4] A station master's house was provided, designed by the company with a pyramid roof truncated by a central chimney stack.[4] The shelter had been demolished by 1949.[4] The station master's house, a simple cottage, rather than the standard company design, survives as a private dwelling. Morrington Quarry was nearby and was rail connected,[5] however the contract was lost to a road haulier in around 1943.[6] The siding was worked by down trains only, goods for Dumfries being taken to the nearest station along. The points were unlocked with an Annett's key that was kept in a locked box on a post adjacent to the point.[7] Trains were controlled by a 'lock and block' system whereby the trains operated treadles on the single line to interact with the block instruments.[2] See also
