 At Dumfries the station was a temporary structure south of Annan Road.On 15 October 1849, the line was opened from Dumfries to Closeburn, and on 20 May 1850, the final section was opened from Closeburn to Horsecleugh, where an end-on junction was made with the GPK&AR, which opened from Auchinleck to that point on the same day.There was no station at Horsecleugh; it was probably an arbitrary boundary point.
