Palnure railway station

It served the small village of Palnure in a rural area of the old county of Kirkcudbrightshire, Parish of Minnigaff, Dumfries And Galloway.

In 1894 the station had one platform on the northern side of the single line with a small station with outbuildings and a weighing machine.

A single siding ran at an angle with a passing loop on the Newton Stewart side with a small building, a loading dock and a weighing machine.

A bad derailment took place in 1922 close to Palnure, and following an assessment of the state of the permanent way the Ministry of Transport placed the whole of the main line under a 45 mph restriction, until it was relaid and reballasted over a two-year period.

Following the Beeching cuts closure of the Paddy Line in 1960s the station building was named Station House after its conversion into a private residence.
