Crianlarich East
(1897–1967)
Summary
Crianlarich East (or "Crianlarich Junction East") was one of two signal boxes opened in 1897 to control an elaborate junction layout for the spur connecting the Callander and Oban Railway with the North British Railway's West Highland Line. Economical facing point locks were installed within the sidings. This was the only signal box on the whole line that worked a splitting distant signal. The signal box closed in 1967.
