Remains of the 1862 station at Caldercruix viewed from the road bridge looking towards Drumgelloch on 26 December 2008. In the original plan, the second Caldercruix station was to be built on a new site located on the western edge of the village but, due to unforseen environmental problems, that plan has had to be changed and the new station will now be built here.
