Description

This junction is immediately north of Crianlarich station. Here the the lines to Oban and Fort William separate. The junction faces south. Just to the north, on the Fort William route, is the Glenbruar Viaduct.

The layout has been altered. Originally the junction started from the north end of the loop, where the line was double track, with both routes leading off as double track lines which rapidly singled. The present layout is from just to the north of the loop, both routes being single from the start.

The curve was not used regularly until both routes became part of British Railways. The link came into its own with the closure of the route south via Callander (Dreadnought).
