Ellon railway station was a railway station in Ellon, Aberdeenshire.〔British Railways Atlas.1947. p.38〕〔RAILSCOT〕 ==History== Ellon Railway Station (originally Ellon for Cruden) was situated on the Formartine and Buchan Railway, which ran from Peterhead/Fraserburgh to Dyce (where it connected to the Great North of Scotland Railway to Aberdeen). A few years after opening, Ellon Station became a junction station for the Boddam Branch line, which ran to Boddam via Cruden Bay. In its heyday the station had three platforms, two for the main line and one for the Boddam Branch. There was also a substantial goods yard. The branch line closed in 1932, and was used to store wagons until the track was lifted in 1950. The station is situated in Auchterellon, about 1 mile from the town centre. Ellon survived until 1965, when passenger services were withdrawn from the Formartine and Buchan Railway due to the Beeching Axe. The line was closed to freight in 1978, with the tracks being lifted soon afterwards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellon railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
