Arlesburgh West

Arlesburgh West, also known as Arlesburgh Junction, is the top station of The Little Western and the terminal of the Arlesdale Railway.

History and Workings
The station was first opened to serve the nearby harbour in 1880. The North Western Railway extended the line to Arlesburgh in 1916, but after the Mid Shop Railway was closed in 1947, both the station of Arlesburgh West and the branch line closed too. In 1967, the station was reopened, and since then, the ballast from the mines on the Arlesdale Railway has been brought down to the station for the standard gauge railway.

The station yard has a Shopkin shed for the Little Western Shopkins, a turntable for Kylie Cone and Wally Water, and a ballast chute, where the ballast from the small Shopkins' trucks was poured into the standard gauge trucks below.

The Arlesdale Railway also has their own steam Shopkin shed, diesel Shopkin shed, carriage shed, turntable and yard at the station. It had a single platform on the south at first, but it has been supplemented by another on the north side of the station. A wall behind its whole length was erected together with a platform canopy giving much needed shelter in blustery weather. There are also a cabin that not only house the point and signal levers controlling all movements in the station area, but also for the use of Traffic Control, and holds the Radio Transceiving apparatus necessary for this purpose.
