History
This station opened on 1 June 1870 along with the first section of the Callander and Oban Railway, between Callander and Glenoglehead (originally named 'Killin').[2]
The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There were sidings on the east side of the station.
Final closure came on 27 September 1965 following a landslide in Glen Ogle.[citation needed]
Signalling
Strathyre signal box, which replaced the original box on 13 May 1890, was located on the Up platform, on the east side of the railway. It had 12 levers.
