Infrastructure
The OS map shows that the station building and platform stood on the south side of the single track line.[3] The station's road access was from near the Cattle Market road end and the goods yard lay on the Kincardine side with two sidings and a head-shunt, one siding running beside a loading dock. A weighing machine is marked.[3] No signal box or signals are shown. The small station building had a section with an awning.[3] A footpath runs from the goods yard to a house that stands on the main road, indicative of a stationmaster's house.[3]
Line reopenning
In 2008 the line, but not the station, was re-opened to freight traffic together with a passenger service as far as Alloa railway station running from Sterling.
