Opened on the South Queensferry Branch (North British Railway).Description
The original Dalmeny station was about a mile south of the current Dalmeny station and on a different, now closed, alignment. It was immediately north of Dalmeny South Junction. It was built a quarter of a mile south of Dalmeny itself to avoid being located in a cutting.
After the opening of the Forth Bridge it became Dalmeny goods. The goods sidings were on the east side of the line and approached from the south. Dalmeny Oil Works was to the east, served by a long siding from the goods yard.
