caption_attribution_description: English: Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station at Binegar, Somerset, three years after the line closed (despite the title, it's probably early spring 1969, not summer, when I wasn't in England)
context_page_description: Binegar railway station was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway in the county of Somerset in England. Opened on 20 July 1874, the station consisted of two platforms, with a building on the down platform. There was a substantial goods yard with two sheds and sidings, controlled from a 24 lever signal box. Being the first station north of the line's summit at Masbury Binegar was also where locomotives used as banking engines on north-bound trains would drop off and cross the line ready to return south.
  The station closed to goods in 1963: passenger services were withdrawn when the SDJR closed on 7 March 1966.
context_section_description: The site is now occupied by a large private house.
