Newtyle and Glammiss Railway (sic) continued the route into Strathmore in 1837, west to Coupar Angus and east to Glamis. This last closed in1846-7 as a route a few yards to the north was taken by the Perth-Forfar route of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway in 1848. The result is an interesting variety of embankments, loops and viaducts between Newtyle and Meigle, some of which may be walked or cycled. An elliptical arched overbridge, railway workers cottages with wallhead dormers, the stone circle of a turntable and the post of a crane are amongst the railway ephemera that may be spotted. A new station building, thought to be 1861 (but could well be 1848?) with an oriel window, closed in 1951.
