Easton (Portland) railway station
Easton railway station was the terminus of the Portland Branch Railway, which operated in the west of the English county of Dorset. Opened with the Easton and Church Hope Railway, one of the constituent parts of a complex line, on 1 September 1902, the line past Portland station was technically a separate railway, although the branch was operated as one line throughout. Easton was closed from 11 November 1940 to 1 January 1945 following air raid damage. Although the station closed to passengers in 1952 regular freight kept the line in use until 1965. The station was demolished in the 1970s.
The site today
The area is now the site of a residential home for the elderly.[1]
