Formally known as Keith Junction signal box, now named Keith, is a GNSR Type 3b box opened in 1905 and fitted with a 40 lever frame. It used to control an extensive yard as well as the junction with the Dufftown line that offered an alternative (to the Highland Railway) and somewhat winding route to Elgin and also a useful direct route to Aviemore. There are still a small number of sidings remaining including a turnback through the former platform one that sees occasional use.
