Moniaive train station is the closed station terminus of the Cairn Valley Light Railway branch, from Dumfries. The official opening day was 28 February 1905, accompanied by much local celebration. Archibald Wilkie from Kirkconnel station was Moniaive's first station master, replaced by George MacDonald whose last charge had been Ruthwell station. During World War 2 large numbers of Norwegian troops travelled to and from Moniaive whilst encamped nearby.
