It is not the original Bo'ness railway station, which was located roughly a quarter mile west on Seaview Place, now the site of a car park.

The northern bay remained standing, latterly providing no more than car parking space, until plans for alterations to the station in the 1980s required its removal.

Cast iron columns and arched spans support the trainshed roof, which is slated on wooden sarking in the standard Scottish manner.

The station office building at Bo'ness was originally built by the North British Railway at Wormit, on the south shore of the Tay facing Dundee.

The footbridge adjacent originally stood at Murthly station, on the Highland Railway main line north of Perth.

A new Display Shed between the MMPD and the carriage and wagon building was erected in 2011 to provide housing for railway artifacts that were previously left out in the open such as the Class 303 EMU "Blue Train" and the Class 126 Inter-City DMU along with various rolling stock and diesel locomotives which is open for the general public to view the artifacts stored within the shed.
