History

The station was opened in March 1845 by the Ballochney Railway. Opposite the platform was the western signal box, which was known as 'Rawyards West', and to the northeast was the Eastern signal box. Both of them opened on 1888. The eastern signal box controlled access to the goods yard and Rawyards Wagon Works. It was also known as Clarkston Junction in the 1867 edition of the handbook of stations. The station closed on 1 May 1930.
