Old Photograph Stepford Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Stepford in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This was one of the minor request stop stations on the Cairn Valley Light Railway branch from Dumfries. The line was closed to passengers during the Second World War. The CVR was nominally independent, but was in reality controlled by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The line was closed to passengers on 3rd of May 1943, during the Second World War and to freight on 4th of July 1949, and the track lifted in 1953. The station master's house, a simple cottage, rather than the standard company design, survives as a private dwelling.
