History
The Duke of Sutherland's Railway had opened between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk (near Gartymore) on 1 November 1870.[2] Extensions of this line southward to Шаблон:Stnlnk and northward to Helmsdale were opened on 19 June 1871.[3]Шаблон:Sfn The station buildings were designed by the architect William Fowler.
Another company, the Sutherland and Caithness Railway (S&CR), was authorised on 13 July 1871 to take over the powers of the projected Caithness Railway and link Helmsdale with that line at Шаблон:Stnlnk, and the S&CR opened on 28 July 1874.Шаблон:Sfn
The station master's house on the platform was abandoned in the 1980s. In 2013 it was refitted as self-catering holiday accommodation.[4]
Accidents and incidents
On 29 April 1891 there was a collision between a down mixed train from Inverness which ran into an engine which had arrived earlier. Major Marindin of the Board of Trade investigated and found that the driver Robert Lindsay deliberately ignored the signals as he would have had difficulty in restarting the train on the rising gradient of 1 in 59.[5]
Facilities
Both platforms have waiting areas and benches, whilst platform 2 also has a help point. Bike racks and a car park are adjacent to platform 2. There is step free access to platform 2 only; platform 1 can only be accessed via the footbridge.[6]
