The name Birchfield Halt was used from 1939.[5] InfrastructureIn 1871 the station had a short ill-defined platform and was approached by a long drive that had a junction with the lane that crossed the level crossing. A single siding ran for a short distance south, parallel to the line. A building stood close to the level crossing and a signal was present.[2] By 1903 a shelter was located at the clearly marked platform, but the short siding had been lifted, a signal is no longer indicated and a small building, not marked as a signal box, stands near the site of the level crossing.[6] The site todayThe building first recorded in 1871 is still present in a much modified form and the trackbed is in use as a farmland access.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.railscot.co.uk/Morayshire_Railway/|title=RAILSCOT | Morayshire Railway|website=railscot.co.uk|accessdate=6 November 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://maps.nls.uk/view/75202421|title=View: Elginshire XVIII.5 (Rothes) - Ordnance Survey 25 inch 1st edition, Scotland, 1855-1882|website=maps.nls.uk|accessdate=6 November 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.railscot.co.uk/locations/B/Birchfield_Platform/|author=Ewan Crawford, John Furnevel, Contributors|title=RAILSCOT | Birchfield Platform|website=railscot.co.uk|accessdate=6 November 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/171666/longmorn-station|title=Longmorn Station|website=Canmore|accessdate=6 November 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.s-r-s.org.uk/RailRef/ref-go.php|author=webmaster|website=s-r-s.org.uk|title=GO Line Codes: GNoS Railway | Signalling Record Society |accessdate=6 November 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://maps.nls.uk/view/82879446|title=View: Elginshire XVIII.5 (Rothes) - Ordnance Survey 25 inch 2nd and later editions, Scotland, 1892-1949|website=maps.nls.uk|accessdate=6 November 2018}} External links{{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Coleburn}}Line and station closed|next={{rws|Rothes}} Line and station closed|route=Morayshire Railway|col={{HR colour}} }}{{s-end}}{{Scotland-railstation-stub}} 5 : Disused railway stations in Moray|Former Great North of Scotland Railway stations|Railway stations opened in 1871|Railway stations closed in 1956|1863 establishments in Scotland |
