History
The first station opened as Kinross on 20 August 1858 by the North British Railway. It closed in 1860[1] but a second station opened in the same year as Hopefield. It was renamed Kinross Junction on 1 October 1871 when the Devon Valley Railway opened. It was closed and resited 200 yards north in 1890.[2] The signal box was to the south. It replaced the north signal box, which was burned down in the 1890s. The station closed on 5 January 1970. Only a section of the wall remains.[3]

gollark: It's "not real" in the sense that numbers and differential equations and perfectly accurate triangles and such do not exist in reality, but do allow you to make really good models of it.
gollark: Spirit-grade insults aren't trivial either.
gollark: Becoming spirit is hard. You need lots of training/experience in engineering, physics, insults and criticism.
gollark: Based on the website it has some nice features and all, but it's probably still a potato compared to a modern phone or tablet in most ways.
