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.
The 1992 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map notes the name Udny Station as applying to the village (centred NJ 9085 2442) to the E of the station itself.

The only surviving remains at Udny Station, which was on the Buchan Line, are the long platforms, and even the sidings that once existed to the S of the station have been built over. The station is depicted on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, sheets xxxvii and xxxvii.SW, 1871 and 1901 respectively), only minor changes being made to its layout and buildings between the surveys.
