Debris has been removed from the line but the rails are buckled. Note wires of Anderson's Piano on the left and one of its signal posts beyond the landslip site.

Engineers working to clear debris and re-connect communities following landslip at the Falls of Cruachan. Network Rail is working with BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland to re-connect communities along Loch Awe following a landslip at the Falls of Cruachan. The railway line to Oban and A85 trunk road, east of the Falls of Cruachan, were blocked on 19 December 2022, when around 100 tonnes of debris slipped 80m down Ben Cruachan's slopes.
