Name and dates

Drumvaich Crossing (1893-1965)

Opened on the Dunblane, Doune and Callander Railway.

Description

Capacity

This passing loop opened in 1893 to increase capacity of the single track route from Dunblane to Oban, part of a number of measure including doubling Dunblane to Doune (1902) and Callander and Oban Junction to Callander (Dreadnought) (1902) and other additional passing loops at St Brides Crossing, Glenlochy Crossing, Awe Crossing (1893) and Glencruitten Crossing (1903).

This loop broke the single track between Doune and Callander and Oban Junction.

Closure

Closure came with the rest of the line from Dunblane west to Oban in 1965.

Today

The building, the last remaining example of a combined house and signal box (other than Glencruitten which is very different), still stands today as a house.
