From the Wikipedia article

Alloa Ferry station was the terminus on the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway (S&DR) Alloa Harbour branch line that ran from Alloa. It opened on 3 June 1851, running down the east side of Glasshouse Loan to 150 yards (140 m) short of the ferry pier. The end of the branch was described in a local newspaper as where "an extensive goods shed has been erected and a comically diminutive station house has been put up". Alloa Ferry station closed on 1 July 1852 when the line from Alloa to Stirling was opened. The line closed on 28 February 1968 when the goods service to the harbour was withdrawn.
