Plantation Halt was a railway station situated near the road crossing on the A83 at a small plantation that is no longer extant.〔(OS One-inch 1924 ) Retrieved : 2012-10-01〕 Argyll and Bute. 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 A83 road running from Stewarton to Campbeltown.〔(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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plantation Halt railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
