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

The location was well chosen as it lay close to the village, the hamlet of Burnbrae and at the busy crossroads at Weston Bridge.

The now solely freight line running through the station site is still operational (datum 2018), serving the Killoch Washery that lies to the south-east, beyond the village of Drongan.

[6] The next station south on the Ayr - Cumnock branch used to be Trabboch, now closed and demolished, near Stair and the hamlet of that name and the colliery served by the railway.

The halt was reached via a short footpath and steps running from the road above with vehicular access.
