Background
History
This station opened on 24 August 1903. It was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There were sidings on the east side of the line. The station was temporarily closed from 25 May to 24 August 1953 when flooding washed away a bridge. It was then closed by the British Railways Board in 1966, when the Ballachulish Branch of the Callander and Oban Railway was closed. The station had been the location of a LMS caravan in 1935 and then two caravans from 1936 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1953 to 1965.
