- Continued from
Killin
(1886–1935).
Summary
After the closure of the signal boxes at Killin and Loch Tay, the branch continued to be worked by the one engine in steam method. Passenger trains ceased running beyond Killin to Loch Tay in 1939. Since there was no loop at Killin, trains were rounded by shunting the engine into the sidings then letting the coaches run past the siding connection by gravitation. In 1959, the staff section from Killin Junction was shortened to apply only as far as Killin station, and yard working was introduced between Killin station and Loch Tay.
