Throsk railway station served the hamlet of Throsk, Stirling, Scotland from 1890 to 1966.
History[]
The station was opened in December 1890 as Throsk Platform by the Caledonian Railway. It was situated just south of the Alloa Swing Bridge.[1]
The station became a junction during the First World war when Bandeath Munitions Depot was established on the peninsula to the west of the swing bridge, the junction was between the station and the bridge.[2][3]
In 1920–21 the station was renamed Throsk and may also have been known as Throsk Halt at times. It closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 18 April 1966.[1]
