Currie railway station

The station had a passing loop, two wooden platforms, a pedestrian overbridge with the ticket office, waiting room, etc. located on the northern side of the single track line with a typical Caledonian Railway style small wooden station building with a short canopy. The goods yard, on the south side of the line, was served from the west side of the station and had a large goods shed. A signalbox was located on the westbound platform at the west end. The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1936 to 1939.^[4]

The OS map of 1893 shows the goods shed with one other siding and a siding running parallel to the main line, a weighing machine and several small buildings associated with the goods yards.^[5] By 1967 the platforms had been removed, the passing loop remained and the station building was still intact.

The station is now part of the Water of Leith Walkway that follows much of the route of the Balerno Loop. The platforms survive only as low earthen mounds and the old goods shed was used by the council for storage.^{[citation needed]}
