A new replacement signal box opened with the new line.<br> <br> To the west of the <a href="/locations/C/Craigendoran/">Craigendoran</a> main two platforms were carriage sidings, located on the north side of the line, served from the east.<br> <br> Of all five platforms, only the up platform of the original through station remains, the down line between <a href="/locations/C/Craigendoran_Junction/">Craigendoran Junction</a> and <a href="/locations/H/Helensburgh_Central/">Helensburgh Central</a> being lifted in 1984.
