Aberdeen Ferryhill TMD was a railway traction maintenance depot in Aberdeen, Scotland. The depot was approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) south of Aberdeen railway station.[2] The depot code originally assigned by British Railways was 61B, but it was given the code AB latterly.[1] Ferryhill Depot closed on 6 December 1987. The adjacent turntable and associated former engine shed form part of the Ferryhill Railway Heritage Centre now preserving the site's heritage.
