Scope and Content Special train to Glasgow at Callander Station, Station Road, Callander, Stirling This view, taken from the east-south-east on 10 October 1964, shows an excursion train about to return to Glasgow, headed by the former Caledonian Railway 4-2-2 No 123, built in 1888 by Neilson & Co, which had been restored to working order in 1959 to work excursions to an exhibition in Glasgow. The railway from Dunblane to Crianlarich closed in 1965, and this station has since been demolished. The locomotive is now in the Glasgow Museum of Transport in the Kelvin Hall, and the ex-Caledonian Railway coaches are with the Scottish Railway Preservation Society at Bo'ness. The first station at Callander was opened in 1858 by the Dunblane, Doune & Callander Railway. The station latterly existing was built for the opening of the first part of the Callander & Oban Railway in 1870. The railway was completed to Oban in 1880. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
