Just to the north of Crianlarich, the 1897 spur to the surviving western section of the Callander & Oban line diverges and descends. It was not regularly used by passenger trains until 1965 when the eastern section of the C & O through Killin Junction was closed. This view is from the Mallaig portion of the ex-12.22 service from Glasgow Queen Street, reversing at Fort William, diverging away from the Oban line on Wednesday, 7th September 2022. We came back from Oban to Glasgow a week later after three nights in Fort William and four nights on the Isle of Mull.
