In the yard on the downside of Arbroath Station is a '...single-storey rubble building with 4 arched entrances, probably the engine shed of the Dundee & Arbroath and Aberdeen railways.'
J R Hume, 1977.
The Dunee and Arbroath Railway company operated services from 1838 and so this 4 bay goods station possibly dates from the 1840s based on the style of the building. The building is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6-inch map (Angus, 1865). The 1st edition 25-inch map (Angus, 1894) depicts three tracks and three turntables to the S of the goods shed. There is a small goods handling crane nearby (NO64SW 108).
This building was photographed by RCAHMS in 2008 due to threat of demolition.
