Old Photograph Railway Station Comrie Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Crieff and Comrie Railway was opened in 1893, connecting Comrie to the railway network at Crieff. The tourism potential of Lochearn was an important factor, and the route was later extended westward to Lochearnhead. However the line was never successful, and declined in the twentieth century, particularly due to cheap and frequent bus competition. Four wheel railbuses were introduced in 1958 to reduce operating costs, but the decline continued and the line closed on 6 July 1964.
