Dalry Junction railway station was a railway station near the town of Dalry, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway (now the Ayrshire Coast Line).

[edit] History

The station was opened on 4 April 1843,[1] and served as an interchange between the lines to Ayr and Kilmarnock from Glasgow. The station's life was shortlived however, and it closed on 2 January 1860,[1] with interchange services moving to Dalry railway station.

In the 1970s the only remnant of this station was the base of a water tank, converted into a small worker's bothy.[2]
