Justinhaugh railway station served the hamlet of Justinhaugh, Angus, Scotland, from 1895 to 1952 on the Forfar and Brechin Railway.
History[]
The station was opened on 1 June 1895 by the Caledonian Railway, although a pre-opening reference from 25 October 1894 erroneous called it Oathlaw. On the westbound platform was the station building, to the west was the goods yard and on the west side of the eastbound platform was the signal box. Inside the yard was the station cottage. The station closed on 4 August 1952.[1] The signal box was downgraded to a ground frame in 1958 and replaced by a new ground frame in 1964. The station cottage still survives today.[2]
