Bridge of Earn railway station served the town of Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, Scotland from 1848 to 1964 on the Edinburgh and Northern Railway.
History
The station opened on 18 July 1848 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. It closed on 1 February 1892 so it could be relocated to open lines for Glenfarg and Forth Bridge as it initially only went as far as Ladybank.[1][2] The old station was demolished in 1902. The second station closed on 15 June 1964.[3][4]
