Aberdeen Waterloo station opened on 1 April 1856 to serve the Great North of Scotland Railway main line to Keith. It was located on Waterloo Quay in the city centre. It closed to passengers in 1867 once Aberdeen Joint opened, but the track remains in use as a freight siding for the docks. The goods sheds were demolished in the 1960s, while the main station was converted for use as a storage facility.
