Scope and Content Fort William Station, Highland This shows the interior of the concourse in the terminal building, looking towards the ends of platforms 1 and 2, and emphasising its small scale. The trolleys in the middle were used for handling parcels and mail traffic. The West Highland Railway and its extension to Mallaig are still in operation, but the Fort William terminus has been relocated to a site further north, on the edge of the town. A relief road has been built over the site of the station seen here. This station was the original terminus of the West Highland Railway, opened in 1894, which runs from Craigendoran to Fort William. It had three platforms, with steel-framed glazed awnings, and a terminal building with an open timber-framed roof and Baronial Revival façade. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
