Mid Fearn Halt was a small railway station in Mid Fearn in Ross-shire in Scotland. The station was provided to serve Fearn Lodge.
The station opened on 1 October 1864 when the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway opened its line from Invergordon to Ardgay (then known as Bonar Bridge).[a][1][2]
The station was short lived, closing on 1 April 1865.[2]
Despite its formal closure and withdrawal from the public timetables the halt was still used as a conditional stopping-place for the lodge and the wives and families of local railwaymen.[2][3]
The station was described as Mid Fearn Halt in the Railway Clearing House handbook of 1938[4] but had also been known as Mid Fearn Station[3] and West Fearn Platform .[5]
