Fort William Junction : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fort William Junction Fort William Junction is a railway junction on the West Highland Line in Scotland, located to the east of Fort William railway station. It is where the railway to Mallaig connects with the Glasgow to Fort William railway. A crossing loop exists on the Mallaig line immediately beyond the junction but there has never been a facility for crossing trains on the main West Highland Line in the vicinity of the junction. == History == Originally named "Banavie Junction", the junction was formed on 1 June 1895 when a short branch line to was opened. The branch left the West Highland Railway approximately one mile east of Fort William station. The junction was renamed "Mallaig Junction" on 30 March 1901, when the Mallaig Extension Railway opened.〔''The Register of Scottish Signal Boxes'', F Alexander & E S Nicoll (1990).〕 The former name "Banavie Junction" was however transferred concurrently to a new junction formed where the Mallaig railway left the existing branch to Banavie Pier. On 27 March 1988, the junction assumed its present name, "Fort William Junction", to avoid potential confusion with "Mallaig" in radio communications.
