Depicted on the 1982 edition of the Ordnance Survey 1:10 000 scale map is a stretch of dismantled railway which follows the course of the Blackadder Water from Greenlaw village to just south of Marchmont House.
The Berwickshire Railway ran from Reston, on the East Coast Line, to St Boswells in the Borders. Opened in 1849, this line was finally closed in 1966.
The station building still stands in Greenlaw village, its platforms having been converted into a garden.
