Description

There were two sidings serving a loading bank at Balmuckety. The sidings were in the east side of the line south of a level crossing where the line crossed the A926. Approach was from the south. A crossing keeper's cottage was at the buffer end of the main siding, just south of the level crossing. The crossing was protected by signals (no box).

Nothing remains of the sidings location, the line has been landscaped here. The embankment of the line remains north of the former level crossing.

Balmuckety was the site of a serious accident on the 8th of August 1848 when a bus was struck by a train on the level crossing, resulting in the death of 10 passengers on board the bus.
