Scope and Content Nairn Station, Nairn The first station in Nairn was opened in 1855 by the Inverness and Nairn Railway. It became a through station in 1863, and was rebuilt in 1885 by The Highland Railway as part of a major programme of station improvement. This view shows the wooden waiting shelter on the west-bound platform. The timber construction is typical of later Highland Railway practice, but the design of this building, and of a similar one at Pitlochry is particularly elegant. Nairn is a passing station on a single line and until 2000 had two signal boxes, one at each end of the loop. The one signalman had to cycle between boxes to operate the points and signals.
