Bromfield railway station was a small station in Bromfield, Cumbria, England, on the English side of the Solway Firth. It opened in March 1873, run by the Solway Junction Railway (then part of the Caledonian Railway), on a line from Kirtlebridge across the Glasgow South Western Line and the Solway Viaduct to Brayton. The line for freight had already opened in 1869. Bromfield started as a request stop and had a goods siding for Fielding & Company. The passenger service was never busy: by 1910 only about three trains each way daily, and a once-a-week Brayton–Abbey Junction service. Passenger services were suspended in September 1917, briefly returned in 1920, and finally ended in 1921, when the Solway Viaduct line south of Annan closed. The line remained open for through traffic until February 14, 1933, and the track was removed in 1937. Until 1895 the station was shown as Broomfield in timetables. Today the site is a private house. The station had one platform and two buildings, one stone and one wooden.
