Blackgrange railway station was a temporary station that served the village of Cambus, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, in 1852 on the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway.

History

[edit]

The station opened in 1852 by the North British Railway. This was a short lived station, only being open in November 1852.[1][2]

A crossing keeper's house was located to the west of the crossing on the north side. A level crossing still exists on the line which was re-opened in 2008.[3]
