Scope and Content Spean Bridge Station, Highland This shows a special excursion run by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society from Falkirk to Mallaig, and composed of preserved rolling stock, standing in the north-bound platform at Spean Bridge. The main station building and signal box are on the left. The West Highland Railway, opened in 1894, and its extension to Mallaig are still in operation, but the signalling is now radio controlled. The station building here has been extended to the rear to become a restaurant, retaining its original frontage to the platform. 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, but not Spean Bridge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
