This intermediate station on the Dyce-Ellon portion of the Buchan lines of the former Great North of Scotland Rly was opened (by the Formartine and Buchan Rly.) at the opening of the branch on 18 July 1861; it closed (with the line as a whole) on 4 October 1965.

R V J Butt 1995.
The stationmaster's house and station cottages at Newmachar are still inhabited, but nothing is now visible of the two buildings that are shown roofed to either side of the track on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1901, sheet lvi.NW). The two platforms, which are 137m in length and 6.3m apart, stand 0.85m high and are in good condition, though about 20m of the western has recently been destroyed in a housing development. Nothing is now visible of the four buildings and two sidings that lay immediately to the N of the station and are depicted on the 2nd edition of the map.
