History
The station first opened on 21 February 1862 by the Keith and Dufftown Railway. There was a goods yard to the southwest, which is used for stock shortage nowadays. The station closed on 6 May 1968 to passengers.[1] The line for westbound trains was lifted shortly after. Goods traffic ceased around 1991. In 2003, the Keith and Dufftown Association reopened the station and the line as a preserved railway and set up their headquarters at the station.[2]

gollark: Anecdotally, my device (2020 Legion 5 with the i5-10300H and RTX 2060) works fine under Linux. People spoke of backlight issues, but it works fine for me. I'm using the hybrid GPU mode with PRIME (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PRIME_render_offload).
gollark: Thanks. I'm not on Windows but might use this if I ever end up installing it instead for whatever reason.
gollark: I have an i5-10300H/RTX 2060 Legion 5, is undervolting possible? I've heard it said that you need some advanced BIOS options which this model lacks for some reason.
gollark: No.
