Greens of Drainie railway station served the local farms of Greens, Wester Greens, Easter Greens, etc. in the parish of Drainie, Lossiemouth area, Moray, Scotland from 1852 to 1859 on the Morayshire Railway.

History

The station was opened on 10 August 1852 by the Morayshire Railway. It was closed to passengers traffic in December 1859. One reference gives its dates as 1853 to 1898 with it remaining as an unadvertised halt from 1859.[4] The ruins of Spynie Palace stand a mile and a half to the south of the old station. The line closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 6 April 1964.[2] One reference gives goods traffic continuing on the line until 1966.[6]

Infrastructure

Greens of Drainie was located on a single track line with one very short platform on the west side of the track closest to Wester Greens Farm.[3][4] In 1870 the platform was marked on the OS map lying between a drainage ditch and the road running to Wester Greens Farm.[5] No signalling, buildings or sidings are shown on OS maps.[5]

Remains

Nothing now remains of the station, however most of the old trackbed can be walked.[6]
