Old Photograph Railway Station Dyce Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Dyce, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The station here was opened, along with the line, in 1854 by the Great North of Scotland Railway. It later became a junction for the Formartine and Buchan Railway, which diverged here and headed north to Peterhead and Fraserburgh; this opened to traffic in 1861 and had its own platforms alongside the main line ones. Passenger services over both branches ended as a result of the Beeching Axe on 4 October 1965 but the station remained open until 6 May 1968. Freight continued to Peterhead until 1970 and to Fraserburgh until October 1979. The station was reopened by British Rail in September 1984.
