Chronology Dates
| 11/09/1939 | Killin Railway Loch Tay to Killin [2nd] closed to all traffic (except Loch Tay Shed access). |
| 27/09/1965 | Killin Railway Killin [2nd] to Killin Junction closed to passengers and completely. Due to the rockfall in Glen Ogle in the early hours the Callander and Oban Railway was closed and the branch service had no trains to meet. The final train from Killin [2nd] was hauled by 80093 with three carriages and 13 wagons - although this was too heavy and the wagons had to be left temporarily while the carriages were taken to Killin Junction before the locomotive returned for the wagons. Once re-combined the train, unusually, ran through to Crianlarich and then south to Glasgow. Loch Tay Shed facilities closed. |
