History edit

The station opened on 7 April 1856 by the Perth and Dunkeld Railway. It closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 3 May 1965.[1]

The station signal box, built in 1898 for the Highland Railway, was relocated from Inverness to Murthly in 1919. It is considered at high risk due to its structural deterioration.[2]
