Clackmannan And Kennet Railway Station
History
The station opened on 18 December 1893 by the North British Railway. To the southeast was the goods yard. The station closed on 7 July 1930.
Infrastructure
The OS map shows that the station building and platform stood on the south side of the single track line. The station's road access was from near the Cattle Market road end and the goods yard lay on the Kincardine side with two sidings and a head-shunt, one siding running beside a loading dock. A weighing machine is marked. No signal box or signals are shown. The small station building had a section with an awning. A footpath runs from the goods yard to a house that stands on the main road, indicative of a stationmaster's house.
Line reopenning
In 2008 the line, but not the station, was re-opened to freight traffic together with a passenger service as far as Alloa railway station running from Sterling.
