History
The station opened as Balnacoul Platform on 23 October 1893 by the Highland Railway. The suffix 'platform' was dropped in 1904 but 'halt' was added in 1928.[1] The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 14 September 1931.[2]
gollark: I should see if it runs PotatOS Hypercycle™.
gollark: Just very slowly.
gollark: I think it actually works somehow.
gollark: The best test of a CC emulator is whether it can run PotatOS. It actually caused several segfaults and other bugs in CraftOS-PC somehow.
gollark: The only difference is that CC is Lua 5.1ish plus extra features while OC is 5.2/5.3.
