Its name was changed to Cleghorn Junction on 1 January 1855 [1] when the Lanark branch opened. To the northeast was the goods yard and to the southeast was the signal box. The station's name changed again to Cleghorn on 1 April 1864. The station, along with the signal box, closed on 4 January 1965. [2] [3]
