Background
History
When opened on 1 June 1870, the station (then named "Killin") was the temporary terminus of the Callander and Oban Railway. This situation persisted until 1 August 1873 when the line was extended to Tyndrum. Originally, the station had just one platform. There was also a turntable and an engine shed. Glenoglehead signal box and crossing loop remained in use until the railway's closure in 1965, the actual closure date having been brought forward because of a nearby landslide.
