The station was originally part of the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway.

[2] The Neilston Curling Club members enjoyed concessions granted by the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway Company for members and their curling stones to travel between Neilston and Caldwell stations and return for the cost of the single journey.

A key for the club's Curling house was also kept at the then Caldwell station.

[3] In 1966 the station was temporarily renamed 'Tannochbrae' for an episode of Dr. Finlay's Casebook.

[5] Today the line is still open as part of the Glasgow South Western Line, with the original station building still standing as a private residence.
