Nethy Bridge railway station served the village of Nethy Bridge, Highland, Scotland from 1863 to 1965 on the Strathspey Railway.
History
[edit]The station opened on 1 July 1863 as Abernethy by the Strathspey Railway. Its name was changed to Nethy Bridge to avoid confusion with Abernethy near Perth. This meant the village was renamed, though the name Abernethy is still in frequent use for the area.
The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 18 October 1965.[1]
