The arrival of the railways in Dingwall in 1862 did much to bring more visitors to the town. In 1885 a branch line from the [[Kyle of Lochalsh Line]] was built and [[Strathpeffer railway station]] was opened on 3 June; the most logical route for the line was through the town, but disagreements with landowners initially prevented the railway from crossing their land. The branch closed in February 1946.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ambaile.org.uk/detail/en/27904/1/GD27904.htm |title=Strathpeffer Railway Station |website=www.ambaile.org.uk |access-date=17 August 2016}}</ref> The station now contains a variety of shops and craft outlets as well as the [[Highland Museum of Childhood]]. The station building itself is of classic Victorian architecture and still has the original platform which many shops front onto. The nearest stations are now in Dingwall and Garve.

A project is under way by the Strathpeffer Spa Railway Association to restore some of the track, buy an engine and run a short heritage line.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.strathpeffervillage.org.uk/heritage:2 |title=Railway Restoration Project – Strathpeffer, Ross-Shire, Highlands |publisher=Strathpeffervillage.org.uk |access-date=2012-12-02}}</ref>
