History
Although the Ballachulish Branch of the Callander and Oban Railway had opened in August 1903, this station was not opened until 7 March 1904. It comprised a single platform on the east side of the line.
The station closed in 1966 when the Ballachulish Branch was closed. The site of the station has been obliterated by the A828 trunk road having been realigned over the route of the former trackbed in 1990.

gollark: 10nm was initially a joke and then got sort of okay years behind schedule, and 7nm is hahahahano.
gollark: Intel has been consistently behind on their process stuff.
gollark: The way the pricing of stocks works, is far as I know, is that people who pay more attention to the company than "hmm their CPUs seem to be good" have already evaluated how well they think they'll do and bought/sold accordingly, so it's already reflected in the pricing.
gollark: Especially now with the ridiculous proliferation of them.
