Dreadnought Junction

This was the start of the railway. It joined here to the Dunblane, Doune and Callander   Railway and left the original Callander station on a short branch. It was turned into a goods yard. There was a locomotive shed here.

Callander (New)

This station was built for the new line running west from here. The original station was closed and converted into a goods yard. The station here had five platforms - two bay at the south end, one bay at the north end and two through platforms. The site is now a carpark. The station was also known as Callander (Dreadnought) after a nearby hotel.

Craig na Cailleach

This was a timber platform which served a group of nearby railwaymen's houses.

Strathyre

This station had two platforms. There was a granite heron statue located here. The site is now occupied by houses. Top

Kingshouse

This was a timber platform. Top

Balquhidder Junction

This was the junction for the Lochearnhead, Comrie and St Fillans Railway. There was a locomotive shed here for that line. The station had three platforms. Today the location is a campsite. Part of the entrance subway remains built in glazed white bricks. Top

Glenoglehead Crossing

This was the original western terminus of the line. From here coach's ran on to Killin, Oban and point in between. This station was closed when the line was extended west to Tyndrum. It was retained as a passing place.

The platforms and some buildings remain here to this day. Top

Killin Junction

The Killin Railway joined the Callander and Oban Railway at a west facing junction station. Trains ran from Loch Tay and Killin to Killin Junction to meet the services on the Dunblane to Oban line. The station was an exchange platform rather than a station for the local area.  Top

Killin

This was a single platform station. This station did not possess a passing loop and, after closure of Loch Tay as a passenger station, passenger trains were gravity shunted while the locomotive took refuge in the goods yard. There was a falling gradient from Killin Junction to Loch Tay and the goods yard was approached from the south. The site is now a car-park.  Top

Loch Tay

This was a single platform station with a rounding loop. There was a line onto a small pier which also had a rounding loop. Boats operated from the Pier here, some running in connection with the Aberfeldy Branch of the Highland Railway. The station building is now a house.  Top

Loch Tay Engine Shed

This was a short distance from Loch Tay station. The shed had a single road. The site of the shed is now a house. After closure of Loch Tay to passengers the shed here remained open for servicing the locomotives.  Top

Luib

This location is now a campsite. Although much of the station has gone, short sections of the platforms and the locomotive watertank remain. Top

Crianlarich (Lower)

This station was retained as a timber loading point. It was recently removed. Top
