History

The station opened as Killearn (New) on 2 October 1882 by the Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway when it extended the Blane Valley Railway northwards from Killearn (Old) to Gartness Junction (on the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway). The station's name changed to Killearn on 1 April 1896 when Killearn (Old) was renamed Dumgoyne Hill.^[1]

To the west was the goods yard.^[2][3] The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1936 to 1939.^[4]

The station closed to passengers on 1 October 1951 and to goods traffic on 5 October 1959.^[1][5]
