Lockerbie railway station
Lockerbie railway station lies on the West Coast Main Line between and Carstairs in Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
== History ==
The station was opened along with the first section of the Caledonian Railway's main line from in September 1847. The line initially terminated at , but was completed through to Glasgow & Edinburgh early the following year. A branch line from here to via Lochmaben was completed in September 1863 - this was constructed by the independent ''Dumfries, Lochmaben & Lockerbie Railway'', but was absorbed by the Caledonian company two years later. Though this route allowed the Caledonian company to reach Dumfries and thus compete with the rival Glasgow and South Western Railway, it never developed beyond country branch status and was closed to passenger services by the British Transport Commission in May 1952. Goods traffic continued until 1966, when the line fell victim to the Beeching Axe. Except Lockerbie all other local stations on the main line between Carlisle and Carstairs closed during the 1960s. The first electrically-operated passenger services operated by British Rail in May 1974 when the West Coast Main Line electrification project between Crewe & Glasgow was completed.
