History

The station was opened on 1 December 1866 by the Caledonian Railway. Opposite the platform was the signal box, which opened in 1891. To the southwest was the goods yard and on the east side was an engine shed, also known as Brocketsbrae Shed. It was renamed Lesmahagow on 1 June 1869 but its name was changed back to Brocketsbrae on 1 June 1905, a month before the new Lesmahagow station opened. The station closed on 1 October 1951 but it remained open to goods traffic until 21 September 1953.
