That station is on the Caledonian Railway main line, which we do not visit on this journey.

I was going by Dewick's Complete Atlas alone (often the road to ruin !) -- he shows a station called Harker & Parkhouse, and a very short way south of that, "Parkhouse Halt (military)". Wiki for Border Union Railway, I now see, shows Harker Station, and Parkhouse Halt -- no "military" stuff.

Next station along Silloth branch: Kirkbride
