The Dundee and Newtyle Railway opened in 1831. At Newtyle there remains a large rubble masonry train shed with elliptical arched entrances at each end. The date of this is uncertain but it may be the second station on the site, built shortly after the line was leased by the Dundee and Perth
Railway in 1846. The grid-planned new town of Newtyle was expected to develop thanks to the railway but the main industry was a bone mill that
ground bones conveyed from Dundee for use as fertiliser. Its bell tower makes a little memento at Knox Close.
