- The Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway was a railway company that connected the Aberdeenshire town of Turriff with the main line of the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) at Inveramsay. It had earlier been intended to reach Macduff, but shortage of finance forced curtailment. It opened its line in 1857. A separate company, the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Extension Railway, was formed to build an extension to Macduff. There was a road bridge connecting Macduff with Banff, crossing the River Deveron, and it was intended that both towns would be served by the railway’s terminus. The Extension Railway opened in 1860, but its terminus was some distance short of Macduff and of the bridge to Banff. Both railways were absorbed by the Great North of Scotland Railway in 1866, and the line was extended by the GNoSR to a new Macduff station in 1872, with an intermediate station at the river bridge. The companies and the branch line were never commercially successful. In 1951 the line was closed to passengers; part of the line as far as Turriff remained active for goods traffic until 1966. The line is now completely inactive. (en)
