Racks railway station was a railway station in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, south of Dumfries, OS NGR NY 033 743, serving and effectively creating[2] the village of Racks near the Lochar Water, 4 miles ESE of Dumfries; a rural community within the Parish of Torthorwald.
The station building has been converted into a private dwelling.
The difference in height between the main building and platform level was overcome by the use of two fenced diagonal ramps built into the slope, with the remainder of the area occupied by a profusion of shrubbery and flower beds.
Racks station was opened by the Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle Railway, which then became part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway.
[6] It was closed by the British Railways Board under the Beeching Axe in 1965.
