Alexander Macrae was the stationmaster appointed on 28 October 1904 having been promoted from Inverness station[2] and remaining until closure on 7 August 1915.
[6] In June 1919 the Highland Railway relaid the section to Aultmore from Crooksmill and resumed goods services at the request of the local authorities.
[10] The Keith signal lineman made regular visits to Aultmore to maintain the ground lever frame and the Distillery Manager's Office had a railway telephone for the purposes of ordering the delivery of waggons.
[12] The line was usually worked on a 'one engine in steam' principle, special trains being timed so as not to conflict with the regular timetabled services.
[14] From 1 November 1907 the engine was withdrawn from Portessie and instead a 2:15 pm ran to Aultmore to work the goods station as and when required.
