Hoy railway station


Hoy was a railway station located northeast of Halkirk, Highland.
The station opened on 28 July 1874 and closed to regular passenger traffic on 29 November 1965.
It was located on the north side of the B874 road on the east side of the village of Halkirk, next to the current railway level crossing. Also at the former station site are military fuel tanks, visible as grass covered mounds, that were built to serve nearby airfields.
The Halkirk Games, first organized in 1886, were held in a nearby field.
Along with and, it was one of three stations serving Halkirk prior to the Beeching closures of the 1960s. Georgemas Junction, which is 2 miles east of Halkirk village, remains open.
