Inveramsay railway station

Inveramsay railway station was a railway station in the parish of Chapel of Garioch, near the Mill of Inveramsay, Aberdeenshire. It served the sparsely populated rural area, but was mainly an interchange for the Macduff and Banff branch lines.

History
Inveramsay was opened in 1857 by the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway, ==Infrastructure==
Infrastructure
The station was the junction for the branch to Macduff and Banff, standing at above sea level. It had two platforms on the main line, with one serving as an island with the main station building and one of its two platform being used for the branch with a passing loop present. A footbridge was present. The exchange sidings on the branch side were latterly used to hold wagons destined for the nearby Inverurie works. ==Remains==
Remains
A station building survives on the old island platform and the second platform to the west remains with the single track line now realigned between the two. The single track line to Inverness runs through the site. ==Services==
Services
From 1926 Sunday excursion trains from Aberdeen were advertised and from 1938 they appeared in the timetables. In 1932 passenger trains stopped at all the stations with five a day in each direction. Although regular passengers services ceased in 1951 a SLS/RCTS Joint Scottish Tour visited Turriff on 13 June 1960 and another excursion ran in 1965. In WWII fuel oil was transported to Turriff and was then piped to Ministry of Defence storage tanks which supplied local airfields. By 1948 four return trips a day were made as the coal supply situation had improved. {{rail line {{rail line ==References==
