Glenoglehead railway station
Glenoglehead was a railway station located at the head of Glen Ogle, Stirling district, Scotland. It was situated on a remote mountainside, some south of the village of Killin.
== History ==
When opened on 1 June 1870, the station (then named "Killin") was the temporary terminus of the Callander and Oban Railway. This situation persisted until 1 August 1873 when the line was extended to Tyndrum.
Originally, the station had just one platform.〔Thomas (1990), page 43〕 There was also a turntable and an engine shed.〔 After the railway was extended to Tyndrum, the station had two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop, and the turntable and engine shed were removed. There were sidings on the east side of the station.
The station was renamed "Glenoglehead" on 1 April 1886, concurrent with the opening of the Killin Railway and a new station in the village of Killin itself.〔 The original station on the Callander & Oban Railway did not close to passengers until 1 April 1889, however.〔 Glenoglehead signal box and crossing loop remained in use until the railway's closure in 1965, the actual closure date having been brought forward because of a nearby landslide.
