This railway is still open. The company provided a service between Perth and Greenhill (near Falkirk). Services ran from Carlisle, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Princes Street to Greenhill and continued to Perth. Perth was, and still is, the junction for Aberdeen and Inverness. The main line to Aberdeen through Strathmore is now closed but the route via Dundee remains open.
The line between Stirling and Perth is supported and promoted by the Strathallan Community Rail Partnership.
