Fochabers High Station was opened by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway (I&AJR) on 18 August 1858. The I&AJR in turn was one of the companies which merged to form the Highland Railway in 1865. The station was renamed Orbliston Junction in October 1893 when it became the junction for the Fochabers Branch line. The word 'Junction' was removed in September 1960. It closed to goods traffic in April 1964 and to passenger services in December of the same year.
