Stepford (NX864815) was one of the minor request stop stations on the Cairn Valley Light Railway branch from Dumfries.
[1] The CVR was nominally independent, but was in reality controlled by the Glasgow and South Western Railway.
The station was very basic with just a short wooden platform with a tin shelter and a siding with a loading bank for goods traffic.
[4] A station master's house was provided, designed by the company with a pyramid roof truncated by a central chimney stack.
[4] The station master's house, a simple cottage, rather than the standard company design, survives as a private dwelling.
