Glenbarry railway station, previously known as Barry was an intermediate stop with a passing loop situatedШаблон:Sfnp on the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) line from Cairnie Junction to Шаблон:Stnlnk. There were two platforms at Glenbarry that served the nearby hamlet that lies in what was once Banffshire. The line northwards ran to Tillynaught where it split to reach Banff by a branch line or Elgin by the Moray Coast line.

Barry was opened in 1859 by the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway,Шаблон:Sfnp and in 1867 was absorbed by the GNoSR who took over the line, closed 'Barry' in 1863, reopening it as 'Glenbarry' in 1872Шаблон:Sfnp and then operating it until grouping in 1923. Passing into British Railways ownership in 1948, the line was, like the rest of the ex-GNoSR lines along the Moray coast, considered for closure as part of the Beeching report and closure notices were issued in 1963. Шаблон:Sfnp Passenger services were withdrawn in May 1968 whilst freight had ceased on 2 November 1964.Шаблон:Sfnp

Station infrastructure

In 1902 the OS map shows the presence of a water tower, weighing machine, two sidings in a goods yard with a goods shed, two platforms with a footbridge, ticket office, shelters and a signal box. A road over bridge is located nearby.[1] The signal box was operational until 25 June 1966.Шаблон:Sfnp

The base of the old water tower survived in 1988.Шаблон:Cn
