Crossford is a closed station of the Cairn Valley Light Railway branch, from Dumfries. It served the rural area of Crossford in Dumfries and Galloway The line was closed to passengers in 1943.〔Passengers No More by G.Daniels and L.Dench〕 == History == The CVR was nominally independent, but was in reality controlled by the Glasgow and South Western Railway.〔Sanders, page 50〕 The line was closed to passengers on 3 May 1943, during WW2〔Awdry, page 64〕 and to freight on 4 July 1949,〔Thomas, page 203〕 and the track lifted in 1953. 1947 is also quoted as a date of complete closure.〔 The siding was worked by down trains only, goods for Dumfries being taken to the nearest station along. The points were unlocked with an Annett's key that was kept in a locked box on a post adjacent to the point.〔Kirkpatrick, Page 91〕 Trains were controlled by a 'lock and block' system whereby the trains operated treadles on the single line to interact with the block instruments.〔
