Old Photographs Railway Station Fort William Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Fort William, Scotland. The first station was opened on 7 August 1894 by the West Highland Railway which was later absorbed by the North British Railway. It was sited further west the present station on what is now the town by-pass alongside Loch Linnhe at Station Square, at the time in close proximity to then location of Macbrayne's former bus station. The old station was a stone built construction featuring a turret and a double arched entranceway and had three platforms. It closed on 9 June 1975 and was demolished immediately afterwards to permit construction of the bypass. The present Fort William station opened by British Rail on 13 June 1975. The current station lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis.
