Peterhead signal box & signals. Note the (broken) single line token catcher between the tracks. The approaching houses point to the future for the railway, which has been wiped away under the expansion of that same housing estate. You would not know a railway ever existed in the town. Only the name of Station Road and the Station hotel tell the story. As there was no run-round in the station, once passengers dispersed the train would be reversed back behind the signal gantry, seen her. The loco uncoupled and diverted into the station siding. The coaches would be moved under gravity into the station under the control of the guard. The loco then being shunted back onto the train.

The Fraserburgh and Peterhead passenger service ended in 1965, virtually 100 years to the opening. The branch existed as a freight line until 1970. All signals were removed and the line was worked as a 'one engine in steam' branch from Dyce junction. At Maude Jct the trains were protected by  'Stop' boards protecting each line, with telephone communications with the Dyce signalman. After Peterhead was closed to freight Fraserburgh remained
as a 53 mile long siding controlled from Dyce signal box until closure in 1979.
