History
The station was opened as Meikle Earnock on 2 February 1863 by the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway. On the southbound platform was the station building and on the east side was the signal box. To the south was a marshalling yard, Eddiewood Junction Yard. To the north was a mineral line that ran to Earnock Quarry. The station's name was changed to Meikle Earnock Halt in 1941, a year after it was downgraded to an unstaffed halt in 1940. The station closed on 12 December 1943.[1]
