Before the Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway opened the Caledonian Railway operated excursion coaches between Lochearnhead [1st] station and Crieff. These connecting coaches waited at the bridge over the road to the north of the station, by an access road to the station. A photograph of one of these coaches can be found on page 119 of John Young's 'Branch Lines of Strathearn; Tourists, Tatties and Trains'. This photograph shows the same location in 2024. The sign post is for a new house (with an appropriate name) built partly on the site of Lochearnhead [1st] station. The main road was realigned after closure of the C&O, this is now just an access road.
