History
The station did not open with the rest of the Sutherland and Caithness Railway on 28 July 1874, but a station here was still considered, depending on traffic levels.[1] It instead opened on 1 October 1874, and closed on 29 November 1965.[2]
It was located on the north side of the B874 road on the east side of the village of Halkirk, next to the current railway level crossing. Also at the former station site are military fuel tanks, visible as grass covered mounds, that were built to serve nearby airfields.[3]
The Halkirk Games, first organized in 1886, were held in a nearby field.[4]
Along with Georgemas Junction and Halkirk, it was one of three stations serving Halkirk prior to the 1960s.[5] Georgemas Junction, which is Script error: No such module "convert". east of Halkirk village, remains open.
