context_page_description: Dalserf railway station served the village of Dalserf in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the Coalburn branch of the Caledonian Railway line.
context_section_description: Passing under the line immediately to the northwest, a curved deviation in the road replaced the previous level crossing for the goods line at this location. Opened as Ayr Road in 1866, the station was renamed Dalserf in 1903. Being an exhausting 1.6-mile (2.6 km) walk along the road from the village, many locals considered the new name a joke. Progressively doubled, the main line to Coalburn via Tillietudlem was again singled in 1940. Temporarily closed from January 1941 to May 1945, the station closed permanently in 1951. The line closed to freight southwards in 1960, and northwards in 1964.
