Knock railway station (Banffshire)
Knock railway station was an intermediate stop situated on the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) line from Grange and Cairnie Junction to . Knock served the rural community and later the Knockdhu Distillery in Banffshire. The line northwards ran to Tillynaught where it split to reach Banff by a branch line or Elgin by the Moray Coast line.
Knock was opened in 1859 by the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway, and in 1867 was absorbed by the GNoSR who took over the line and then operating it until grouping in 1923. Passing into British Railways ownership in 1948, the line was, like the rest of the ex-GNoSR lines along the Moray coast, considered for closure as part of the Beeching report and closure notices were issued in 1963.
==Station infrastructure==
In 1894 the station had three sidings, a passing loop and two platforms with a signal box on the 'up' platform, singled by 1968. The OS map of 1867 shows a basic station with a shelter, a single platform and only one siding on the opposite side of the road over bridge from the 1902 station that served the distillery in addition to the needs of the rural community.〔(Banffshire, Sheet XV (includes: Fordyce; Grange; Marnoch; Ordiquhill; Rothiemay).
