History

The station opened on 19 April by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. To the west was Renfrew Steel Works and to the east was Albert Cabinet Works. The steel works were served by a signal box called Porterfield, which was to the south and it opened before the station. Two replacement signal boxes were built when the station opened, which were named 'South Renfrew No 1' and 'South Renfrew No 2'. Also to the south was a yard which served the sidings for the works. The station closed on 5 June 1967 [1] along with both of the signal boxes. The track survived until 1986. [2]
