It served the rural area of Dunscore in Dumfries and Galloway. The line was closed to passengers during the war in WW2.[1] 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 WW2[1] and to freight on 4 July 1949,[3] and the track lifted in 1953. The station cost £212 to build in red brick with cream painted poster boards and chocolate-coloured framing. The extension over the front was covered with red tiles, as was the main roof. A booking office and waiting room was provided. Water columns and tanks weer fitted at each end of the station platform. A station master's house was provided [4] A three-arched red brick-faced viaduct crossed the River Cairn just below the station. Electrically controlled home and starter signals were present for both directions and a telephone system was provided for communication between stations.[5] In about 1936 the London Midland and Scottish Railway removed the original signals and the line was worked by a brass Key Token Trains, however replacement signals were provided to control the passing loop. 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
