The station was originally part of the Ayr and Cumnock Branch on the Glasgow and South Western Railway.

[2] It was near an overbridge built for future doubling that never took place and had a single platform of 315 feet which partly occupied the space beneath the bridge and a brick built storeroom was located below the bridge arch, reaching up to the underside of the arch.

[3] On this platform stood a small timber waiting room and a booking office.

[4] After the closure of the local mines in 1908 for a time some of the miners from Trabboch village walked to the station and caught the train to Skares where they worked at Whitehill Colliery whilst others found work at Burnockhill Colliery that was located in the locality.

[7] The line at the station site is still operational (2017), serving the Killoch Washery to the south-east, beyond Drongan.
