Local companies involved were the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway, the Banff, Macduff and Turriff Extension Railway and the Aberdeen and Turriff Railway, as well as successor companies.</div> <p>The <b>Banff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway</b> was a railway company that connected the <a href="/wiki/Aberdeenshire" title="Aberdeenshire">Aberdeenshire</a> town of <a href="/wiki/Turriff" title="Turriff">Turriff</a> with the main line of the <a href="/wiki/Great_North_of_Scotland_Railway" title="Great North of Scotland Railway">Great North of Scotland Railway</a> (GNoSR) at Inveramsay. It had earlier been intended to reach Macduff, but shortage of finance forced curtailment. It opened its line in 1857. </p><p>A separate company, the <b>Banff, Macduff and Turriff Extension Railway</b>, was formed to build an extension to Macduff. There was a road bridge connecting Macduff with Banff, crossing the River Deveron, and it was intended that both towns would be served by the railway’s terminus. The Extension Railway opened in 1860, but its terminus was some distance short of Macduff and of the bridge to Banff. </p><p>Both railways were absorbed by the Great North of Scotland Railway in 1866, and the line was extended by the GNoSR to a new <a href="/wiki/Macduff_railway_station" title="Macduff railway station">Macduff</a> station in 1872, with an intermediate station at the river bridge. The companies and the branch line were never commercially successful. In 1951 the line was closed to passengers; part of the line as far as Turriff remained active for goods traffic until 1966. The line is now completely inactive. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Macduff.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Macduff.png/300px-Macduff.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="594" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Macduff.png/450px-Macduff.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Macduff.png/600px-Macduff.png 2x" data-file-width="749" data-file-height="1483" /></a><figcaption>System map of the railways to Macduff</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Banff-bridge-stn.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Banff-bridge-stn.jpg/220px-Banff-bridge-stn.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Banff-bridge-stn.jpg/330px-Banff-bridge-stn.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Banff-bridge-stn.jpg/440px-Banff-bridge-stn.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1496" data-file-height="911" /></a><figcaption>Banff Bridge station, Banff Bridge and Banff itself</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Macduff_Railway_station.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Macduff_Railway_station.jpg/220px-Macduff_Railway_station.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="154" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Macduff_Railway_station.jpg/330px-Macduff_Railway_station.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Macduff_Railway_station.jpg/440px-Macduff_Railway_station.jpg 2x" data-file-width="699" data-file-height="488" /></a><figcaption>Macduff Railway station photographed prior to WW2.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg/220px-Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="156" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg/330px-Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg/440px-Gordon_Highlander_steam_locomotive.jpg 2x" data-file-width="730" data-file-height="516" /></a><figcaption> Gordon Highlander taking on coal in 1964.</figcaption></figure> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Formation_and_opening">Formation and opening</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Banff,_Macduff_and_Turriff_Junction_Railway&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Formation and opening"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As the railway network further south took shape, Aberdeen was connected to the south by the <a href="/wiki/Aberdeen_Railway" title="Aberdeen Railway">Aberdeen Railway</a>, in 1850.
