Scope and Content Rannoch Station, Perth & Kinross This shows the low-relief sculpture of the financier J H Renton, who was a backer of Lucas & Aird, contractors for the construction of the line. It is situated at the north end of the island platform. The West Highland Railway, opened in 1894, and its extension to Mallaig are still in operation, but the signalling is now radio controlled. This signal box has had its equipment removed and has become the platform shelter, though the station building is still intact. 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 Rannoch. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
