Carsbreck railway station

[3] A roughcast two storey building, 'Brick House', thought to have been a surfaceman and crossing keeper's dwellings dating from Scottish Central Railway days, unoccupied but still standing, lies to the south next to a level crossing and a single fairly substantial building, possibly the curling house was at that time located on the southbound 'platform' area[9] together with small shelters on each platform.

[1] A path ran from the station across a drainage ditch and the Allan Water to the curling loch and to Carsebreck Farm.

A major upgrade took place and in 1935 a track layout diagram and film seems to shows only a single very long platform on the northern side of a wooden construction with three sets of steps.

The Royal Caledonian Curling Club negotiated a special ticket at half the normal price for the thousands of curlers who used the station.

[1] In 1935 it is recorded that 2576 curlers and 5000 people in total attended the bonspiel that had started at 11.25 and finished at 2.30pm and the queuing of passengers had to be carefully organised with only four carriages able to use the station platform at one time.

[11][13] In 1853 trains with more than twenty carriages were provided, the locomotives being unequal to the task and the bulk of curlers arrived around an hour late.
