Craigendoran West Signal Box

Location type


Name and dates

Craigendoran West Signal Box (1894-1937)

Opened on the West Highland Railway.

Description

The west box was a tall structure, which was described as looking like a pagoda - a six sided building approached by a walkway from the West Highland Railway trackbed. It controlled the northern approach to the West Highland Craigendoran station. The box was closed in 1937 when Craigendoran Junction box took over.

To the north of the box's former site the railway crosses the A814 on a high long single girder bridge, built on a small deviation of the line to the west of its original alignment.
