Helmsdale Station
The station buildings, a footbridge and the former 'Helmsdale South' signal box still stand. This is a two platform station with a passing loop. There is a siding to the north of the station.
The 'Helmsdale North' signal box has been demolished. The Sutherland and Caithness railway extended the Duke of Sutherland's Railway north to Thurso and Wick from Helmsdale.
The current station was the new terminus on the extension of the line from West Helmsdale opened in 1871.
