(Location cited as NY 139 665). Cummertrees Station was opened in 1848 by the Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle Rly. It was formerly a two-platform through station with the main building on the down platform, a handsome single-storey building on a U-plan with prominent eaves.
J R Hume 1976.
This intermediate station on the Glasgow - Dumfries - Carlisle ('Nith valley') main line of the former Glasgow and South Western Rly was opened by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr (Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle) Rly on 23 August 1848. It closed to regular passenger traffic on 19 September 1955; the line remains in regular passenger service.
Cummertrees Station was never held by the Caledonian Rly, as is stated by Hume.
