The station opened on 9 August 1848. It was renamed Mauchline for Catrine by 1887, and renamed back to Mauchline in 1903. The station closed to passengers on 6 December 1965.
Today this line is still open as part of the Glasgow South Western Line.
The Garrochburn Goods Depot lay a few miles to the north and until circa 1926 a Mossgiel Tunnel Platform was located just to the north of the tunnel mouth on the Hurlford side.

gollark: Hmm, now I need to come up with descriptions for the other categories to remain consistent.
gollark: I suppose I could test it by making it trigger all the time.
gollark: I'm not certain if it actually works.
