Machrihanish Farm Halt railway station
Machrihanish Farm Halt was a railway station situated at the road crossing near East Trodigal Farm〔(OS One-inch 1924 ) Retrieved : 2012-10-01〕 and close to Machrihanish, Argyll and Bute. The Argyll Colliery with its rail connection was nearby. The Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway was a 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) narrow gauge railway in Kintyre, Scotland, between the towns of Campbeltown and Machrihanish.
==History==
The station had no platforms and was located at a site where the train had to slow before crossing the road.〔(OS Map 1938 ) Retrieved : 2012-10-01〕
Upgraded from a coal carrying mineral lined and opened for passenger traffic in 1906, the railway did not have stations as such, just places where the train halted to pick up passengers. Many of the passengers were day trippers from Glasgow as a turbine steamer would bring passengers to Campbeltown early enough to catch a train to Machrihanish and allow a return journey all in one day.〔(Railway Details ) Retrieved : 2012-09-30〕
Only three other passenger-carrying lines in the UK operated on the same gauge, all of them in Wales - the Corris Railway, the short-lived Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway and the Talyllyn Railway.
