History

This station opened on 1 August 1873, when the Callander and Oban Railway was extended from Glenoglehead to Tyndrum.[2]

The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There were sidings on the north side of the station.

The station was closed on 27 September 1965 following a landslide in Glen Ogle.

Signalling

Luib signal box, which replaced the original box on 18 March 1890, was located at the west end of the station, on the north side of the line. It had 14 levers.

gollark: Well, sure. But in that case you could also just patch the code to not sandbox it like that.
gollark: That's very much useless for the majority of cases, except really weird ones.
gollark: I just don't provide getfenv/metatable.
gollark: <@!246968630598828034> Please explain the sandboxing issue so it can be protected against.
gollark: PwnCC *said* something about a zero-day, but I'm not entirely sure about that one since it was never demonstrated. I still don't recommend running it except on stuff you don't need much and can easily stick in a disk drive for formatting.
