caption_attribution_description: English: Blackford Hill Station. View westward, towards Craiglockhart and Haymarket; ex-NB Edinburgh South Suburban line. Station closed to passengers 10/9/62; line still open for freight.
context_page_description: Blackford Hill railway station was a railway station in the Blackford area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was located at the foot of Blackford Hill on the Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway. It was opened on 1 December 1884.
  Blackford Hill station closed in 1962, when passenger rail services were withdrawn from the Edinburgh Suburban line although the line itself was retained for rail freight use. The route continues to be used for freight services to this day, so freight trains avoid Edinburgh's main stations of Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket, and occasionally diverted passenger trains also pass along this line.
