The railway line was abandoned to passengers in 1955 and then goods traffic in 1965. Part of the route has now been converted to The Great Northern Railway Trail cycle and walking route (National Route 69).
The boards show an old map drawn at the time of the railway opening showing the railway lines and junction at Queensbury station.
The station was one of only a few in the country with platforms on each side of a triangular junction and therefore became known as the `Queensbury Triangle. The station is no longer in existence, and each of the three boards is positioned facing one of the three sides of the triangle.
