Dalmally station was the temporary terminus of the line from 1877 until 1880. There had been a small engine shed here. The signal box was replaced in 1896. The signal box closed in 1986, but Dalmally remained as a token station until RETB was commissioned in 1988.
Maj. Gen. Hutchinson (Board of Trade) reported on his inspection of the extension of the Callander & Oban Railway from Tyndrum to Dalmally. He required that facing points locking should be fixed to the through connections and that the siding points should be locked with rods and not with wires. An Up Starting signal should be provided. The works were incomplete, and opening was not sanctioned.
Line opened between Tyndrum and Dalmally. Signal box opened.
On re-inspection by the Board of Trade, it was found that the major alterations had been made and only minor changes were required, like boxing in a wire and a point rod at the west end of the station.
Col. Marindin (Board of Trade) reported on his inspection in connection with the extension of the line from Dalmally to Oban. There was one frame of 10 levers and one frame of 2 levers. Opening was refused due to incompleteness of work.
