Taynuilt railway station

in 1979 - the building on the left was destroyed by fire after 1994]] Taynuilt station opened on 1 July 1880, when the Callander and Oban Railway was extended from Dalmally to Oban. The station is laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There are two sidings on the south side of the station. On 11 January 1987, the crossing loop was altered to right-hand running. The original Down platform has thus become the Up platform, and vice versa. The change was made in order to simplify shunting at this station, by removing the need to hand-pump the train-operated loop points to access the sidings.
