History
The station was originally owned by the Highland Railway and was known as Keith Junction. It was the point where the Highland Railway from Inverness joined the Great North of Scotland Railway from Aberdeen to enable exchange of goods and passengers. Keith's other station, Keith Town, was on the Great North of Scotland Railway, and was much nearer the town of Keith than the Junction station.
There is, or perhaps until recently was, a service to Aberdeen which originated in Keith and uses or used the branch line platform.
