Scope and Content Ardlui Station, Argyll & Bute This shows the island platform from the north. Note the wooden edge to the platform. The building nearest to the camera is the signal box, and contains the levers controlling the points and signals, and the single-line instruments. Behind it is the main station building. The people are excursionists. The West Highland Railway, opened in 1894, and its extension to Mallaig are still in operation, but the signalling is now radio controlled. The main station building at Ardlui has been demolished, and the signal box has become the platform shelter. This station is on the West Highland Railway, which runs from Craigendoran to Fort William. It runs through difficult terrain, and is single-track, with passing places. Most of the stations have an island platform in the middle of the passing loop, and timber station buildings in Swiss Chalet style, including Ardlui. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
