Background

History

The station opened on 27 July 1849 by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. It was situated on a minor lane on the B6350. Even though the station was named Carham, it was located in Roxburghshire, being 3 quarters of a mile from the village. To the east was the goods yard and Shidlaw Tile Works, which was served by a siding near the two limekilns to the south. The works closed in 1898. A signal box was built in 1880 but it was replaced by another in 1903 to the southwest of the level crossing. The final passenger train called at the station on 2 July 1955 and passenger trains officially ceased two days later. It closed to goods on 18 May 1964.
