History
The station opened on 7 April 1856 by the Perth and Dunkeld Railway. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 3 May 1965.[1]
The station signal box, built in 1898 for the Highland Railway, was relocated from Inverness to Murthly in 1919. It is considered at high risk due to its structural deterioration.[2]

gollark: Oh no.
