Hackenbeck is a small village west of Ffarquhar, serviced by a station on Thomas' Branch Line.
History[]
Hackenbeck station consists of a single platform with a substantial building. Behind the station is a stonecutting shed, to which trucks are brought from the Ffarquhar Quarry.[1] There is also a small open-sided shed on a siding nearby the station, which Daisy used to use prior to being transferred to the Harwick Branch Line.
