Background
History
Dunblane used to be a junction where the present line and the Dunblane, Doune and Callander Railway diverged. This connected at Callander to the Callander and Oban Railway. The line was axed in the Beeching cuts, being formally closed on 1 November 1965 (although traffic beyond Callander had ended five weeks earlier due to a landslide in Glen Ogle). Parts of the trackbed from near Dunblane to Doune and from Callander to Killin are now cycle paths. A short section of track remains on the branch; it is used for storing track maintenance machines and diesel multiple units.
