The path of the Wick-Lybster branch-line of the former Highland Railway is visible as a series of low embankments and shallow cuttings, which have either been incorporated into fields of pasture or else left as waste ground between fields. At Thrumster, the track-bed lies immediately NW of the public road (A9), but much of it on the SE side of the policies of Thrumster House (ND34NW 20.00) is masked by a windbreak of conifers. A surviving station building at Thrumster (ND34NW 17) is in a good state of repair.
