History

The station opened on 19 July 1897 by the Highland Railway. It was the terminus of the line until Culloden Moor opened in 1898. On the northbound platform was the station building and to the southwest was the goods yard. There were two signal boxes: one to the north which was built, but never opened. The other signal box was to the south in between the goods sidings. It was relocated slightly to the north in 1952. The station closed on 3 May 1965. [1] The signal box closed in 1969. Only the platforms remain. [2]
