Dalchonzie Halt railway station

Dalchonzie station in Strathearn was opened as Dalchonzie Platform in 1903. In 1905 the Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway opened a single-storey signal box built into a cottage. and in 1927 the station is recorded as a halt. During construction works the railway company were required to plant a large number of trees were to screen the railway in this attractive rural district. In 1903 three trains a day ran. However, Dalchonzie was a request stop with passengers required to inform the guard at Comrie or St Fillans if they wished to alight. In May 1948 trains still stopped at Dalchonzie only upon request and passengers waiting to be picked up had to give at least 5 minutes notice…

The track remained in situ after closure until 1959 to allow for the movement of construction materials for the Glen Lednock hydro-electric schemes . The signal box survives as part of the now private ex-railway cottage. Work is underway to create a cycle and pedestrian route using the trackbed of the old railway route.
