Culross railway station served the village of Culross, Fife, Scotland from 1906 to 1992 on the Kincardine Line.
History
The station opened on 2 July 1906 by the North British Railway. To the northwest was the goods yard. The signal box closed in 1923 when the loop was lifted. The station closed on 7 July 1930 but the line remained open for goods with two power stations: Longannet power station and Kincardine power station. A second station opened on 21 July 1992 but was short lived because it was only used for workers at Longannet power station so it closed later in the year on 22 August.[1]
