Fersit SidingOpened on the West Highland Railway.
Description
This siding predated the construction of the Lochaber Aluminium Works and the Lochaber Narrow Gauge Railway. Its original purpose was to serve a gravel pit, located on the east side of the line and served from the north. There was a railway cottage directly east of the line, with the siding to its east.
This site became a supply depot for the hydroelectricity scheme constructed in connection with the aluminium smelter. There was a cement shed, store and fitting shop.
A temporary halt, Fersit Halt was opened on the line.
