Location

Auchengray railway station was just outside Auchengray, a hamlet in the Parish of Carnwath, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It was served by local trains on what is now known as the West Coast Main Line.

It is near Tarbrax and Woolfords. The Wilsontown Ironworks Branch ran from just to the north.

There is now no station convenient for Auchengray.

History
