Glenburnie railway station was a temporary terminus that served the area of Glenburnie, Fife, Scotland from 1847 to 1848 on the Edinburgh and Northern Railway and the Newburgh and North Fife Railway.

History[edit]

The station opened on 9 December 1847 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. It was a short lived terminus of the Newburgh and North Fife Railway, until Newburgh opened five months later, with a siding that served a loading bank to the west and a signal box also to the west. The station closed on 17 May 1848.[1]
