There are no identifiable remains of the first station to be built at Bridge of Earn. It was situated on the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway and is depicted on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire, sheet cx, 1866) immediately E of the bridge that carries the A912 public road over the present railway on the S side of the village. The station was demolished after the Inverkeithing and Perth section of the North British Railway was constructed in the 1880?s, and a new station (NO11NW 92) was built to the W of the village.
