This was a passing loop opened in 1882 to increase capacity of the line. It broke the single track section between Tyndrum Lower and Dalmally.
The building, slightly up a bank from the railway, was similar to that at other crossing loops such as Drumvaich Crossing and Awe Crossing - a combined signal box and railway cottage, the box at the west end of the combined building. It was on the south south east side of the line. Unlike the similar locations where the building was directly by the track this building was set back a little and up an embankment. An access footbridge over the River Lochy approached the loop.
The line remains open, but the loop was lifted in 1966. The building was demolished. The footbridge still exists, but is locked for railway used only. This was often used as the starting point of the climb to Beinn Laoigh until the access was blocked.
