caption_attribution_description: English: Bieldside Station. On the old Deeside Railway track.
context_page_description: Bieldside railway station served the Bieldside area within the parish of Peterculter from 1897 to 1937 on the Deeside Railway that ran from Aberdeen to Ballater. This area was the location of a number of mansion houses and estates such as Woodthorpe, Dalmunzie, The Firs, etc., some built as a result of the railway.
context_section_description: The wooden station building with its 'hipped roof', had a waiting room, ticket office, staff accommodation and toilets, similar to those at Torphins, Lumphanan and elsewhere on the line. It did not possess a goods yard.
  The decision to construct the station was made on 11 January 1893 and it opened in 1897 at a cost of £1363. The line was doubled in 1892, a stone stationmasters house built, together with a wooden pedestrian overbridge and a signal box with a small wooden shelter located on the westbound platform. No points were present on this curved section of track.
  In 1963 the station, closed since 1937, was now on a single track section of line with the station house still standing however the old station building and signal box had been demolished by this date. The westbound side of the track was the first to be lifted.
