The station lay 3 miles 70 chains (6.2 km) from Keith railway station.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} HistoryThe station is generally said to have been opened at some point after 1923 and closed to passengers traffic on 7 December 1964, however the distillery remained open and is still operational (datum 2018). The distillery was once connected by a single line that was served by freight trains from the west.[3][8] From 23 May 1949 the halt was available to the general public. One source gives the opening date as 1922 in the final days of the Highland Railway.[9] A 'Tauchers Halt' is shown on the 1938 Ordnance Survey map.[4] InfrastructureThe simple wooden platform had basic lighting, a simple shelter and steps that ran down from the overbridge on the northern side of the line. Tauchers may have been constructed as early as 1922, immediately before the Highland Railway became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.[5][6] It served the distillery workers and the local community, etc. until 7 December 1964, freight facilities were not provided. Nothing now remains of the station, signal box or siding however the entrance and car park area is still present and the line remains open.[7] The distillery branch was operated by a signal box located near the road overbridge on its western side with two short sidings and associated points lying parallel to the main line. The single track branch to the distillery had sidings that supplied the loading dock area.[8] Distillery operationsThe siding at Glentauchers Distillery was circa 4 miles west of Keith on the line between Aberdeen and Inverness. The working timetable in the mid 1950s shows that a single daily working ran between Keith and Mulben, leaving at 2.20pm, working the Glentauchers distillery siding until 2.50pm and then running to Mulben railway station, arriving at 2.55pm and returning to Keith for 3.25pm.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|last=Butt|first= R.V.J.|year=1995|title=The Directory of Railway Stations|publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |isbn= 1-85260-508-1|page=227}} 2. ^[https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=57.5355&lon=-3.0500&layers=6&b=1 Banffshire Sheet XIII.SE, Surveyed: 1902, Published: 1905] 3. ^1 2 [https://www.railscot.co.uk/locations/T/Tauchers_Platform/ RailScot - Taucher's Platform] 4. ^[https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=57.5364&lon=-3.0521&layers=10&b=1 NJ34, Surveyed: 1938, Published: 1957] 5. ^1 2 [https://www.simonbowditchillustrations.co.uk/illustration-2-014_taucher.html Simon Bowditch Illustrations] 6. ^[https://maps.nls.uk/view/91549105 Sheet 30 - Banff Publication date: 1959] 7. ^[https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5407585 Geograph - Tauchers Halt railway station (site), Moray] 8. ^1 [https://maps.nls.uk/view/82870365 Banffshire XIII.15 (Boharm; Botriphnie) Publication date: 1905 Revised: 1902] External links
