Old Photograph Railway Station Glenoglehead Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Glenoglehead located three miles South of Killin, Scotland. When opened on 1 June 1870, the station was the temporary terminus of the Callander and Oban Railway. This situation persisted until 1 August 1873 when the line was extended to Tyndrum. The station closed to passengers on 1 April 1889. Glenoglehead signal box and crossing loop remained in use until the railway's closure in 1965, the actual closure date having been brought forward because of a nearby landslide.
