Background

History

The station was opened on 4 September 1848 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. On the east side was the goods yard. The day before the newer Cowdenbeath station opened, the station's name was changed to Cowdenbeath Old on 1 June 1890. A deviation line opened to serve the new station in 1900, rendering this station useless, thus it closed on 31 March 1919, although it still remained open to miners.
