Dundee Esplanade railway station served the city of Dundee, Scotland from 1889 to 1939 on the Tay Bridge Railway.
History
The station opened in 1889 by the North British Railway, opening after the second Tay Bridge was built. On the eastbound platform was a signal box that has 'Tay Bridge North' on it, replacing the old one. This signal box closed in 1928. To the east were a group of sidings on the north and south sides of the station. The south set of sidings were later removed and the northern set were reduced to just two sidings. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic in 1939.[1][2]
