This line is closed. It was a scenic single track line which ran west from Comrie by the River Earn, which was crossed several times, climbing until it reached St Fillans from which it ran above the north shore of Loch Earn to Lochearnhead where it turned south to meet the Callander and Oban Railway at Balquhidder [2nd], a new station replacing the original for the line opening.
On its route it crossed quite a number of large mass concrete viaducts, the largest of which is the Lochearnhead Viaduct crossing the south end of Glen Ogle. It was intentionally screened with tree planting to please land owners and passed through one very short tunnel. Today much of it is walkable and the former stations at St Fillans and Lochearnhead remain preserved in a good state of repair.
This line is divided into a number of portions.
