established with the intention of linking the sea port of <a href="/wiki/Oban" title="Oban">Oban</a> to the railway network. This involved a long line from <a href="/wiki/Callander" title="Callander">Callander</a> through wild and thinly populated terrain, and shortage of money meant that the line was opened in stages from 1866 to 1880. </p><p>The line improved the economy of Oban, especially for the fishing trade and for tourism, but the winter traffic was limited. The company built a branch to <a href="/wiki/Ballachulish" title="Ballachulish">Ballachulish</a>, which included the construction of <a href="/wiki/Connel_Bridge" title="Connel Bridge">Connel Bridge</a>, a remarkable bridge at <a href="/wiki/Connel" title="Connel">Connel</a> over <a href="/wiki/Loch_Etive" title="Loch Etive">Loch Etive</a>. The branch opened in 1903, but although it opened up remote areas it was never commercially successful. It closed in 1966. </p><p>The main line was crossed by the <a href="/wiki/West_Highland_Line" title="West Highland Line">West Highland Line</a> at <a href="/wiki/Crianlarich" title="Crianlarich">Crianlarich</a>, where a connecting spur was constructed by the West Highland Line in 1897. The C&OR section between Callander and Crianlarich was closed in September 1965. However, the section between Crianlarich and Oban is still in use today, with trains using the connecting spur at Crianlarich. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Callander_and_Oban_Railway&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origins">Origins</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Callander_and_Oban_Railway&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origins"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif/220px-Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="106" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif/330px-Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif/440px-Callander_and_Oban_Rly.gif 2x" data-file-width="3089" data-file-height="1491" /></a><figcaption>System map of the Callander and Oban Railway</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Central_Railway" title="Scottish Central Railway">Scottish Central Railway</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Caledonian_Railway" title="Caledonian Railway">Caledonian Railway</a> were, as many others, incorporated by acts of Parliament, the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Central_Railway_Act_1845" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Central Railway Act 1845">Scottish Central Railway Act 1845</a> (<a href="/wiki/8_%26_9_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="8 & 9 Vict.">8 & 9 Vict.</a> c. clxi) and the <a href="/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_Act_1845" class="mw-redirect" title="Caledonian Railway Act 1845">Caledonian Railway Act 1845</a> (<a href="/wiki/8_%26_9_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="8 & 9 Vict.">8 & 9 Vict.</a> c. clxii), on 1 July 1845. At this stage the two companies were collaborating, with the intention of connecting Perth with Carlisle, and beyond to the emerging English railway network; the Scottish Central had immediate plans with allied companies to reach Aberdeen, and there was early on talk of reaching into the north-west Highland area.<sup id="cite_ref-marshall_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-marshall-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.

The line opened on 1 July 1858. </p><p>Callander was the western extremity of lowland terrain: beyond lay wild highland hills. Promoters now considered whether Callander would make a good starting location for a line penetrating the Highlands, and reaching the western sea at Oban 71 miles (114 km) away, with relatively few settlements in between. They decided in November 1864 that the line should be built, and they called it <i>the Callander and Oban Railway</i>. </p> <div class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">United Kingdom legislation</div><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1257001546">.mw-parser-output .infobox-subbox{padding:0;border:none;margin:-3px;width:auto;min-width:100%;font-size:100%;clear:none;float:none;background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .infobox-3cols-child{margin:auto}.mw-parser-output .infobox .navbar{font-size:100%}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme)>div:not(.notheme)[style]{background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme) div:not(.notheme){background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media(min-width:640px){body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table{display:table!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>caption{display:table-caption!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>tbody{display:table-row-group}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table tr{display:table-row!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table th,body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table td{padding-left:inherit;padding-right:inherit}}</style><table class="infobox vevent mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary" style="font-size:100%"><span style="font-size:125%">Callander and Oban Railway Act 1865</span></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-subheader" style="font-weight: bold;">Act of Parliament</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/140px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="140" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/210px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/280px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1550" data-file-height="1550" /></span></span><div class="infobox-caption"><a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a></div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Short_and_long_titles" title="Short and long titles">Long title</a></th><td class="infobox-data description">An Act for making a Railway from the Town of Oban in the County of Argyle to the Dunblane, Donne, and Callander Railway near Callander in the County of Perth, with a Tramway to the Harbour of Oban; and for other Purposes.</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Citation_of_United_Kingdom_legislation" title="Citation of United Kingdom legislation">Citation</a></th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/28_%26_29_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="28 & 29 Vict.">28 & 29 Vict.</a> c. cclxvi</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;">Dates</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Royal_assent" title="Royal assent">Royal assent</a></th><td class="infobox-data">5 July 1865</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/Vict/28-29/266/pdfs/ukla_18650266_en.pdf">Text of statute as originally enacted</a></th></tr></tbody></table> <p>From Oban back to Crianlarich the route was clear; from there to the <a href="/wiki/River_Clyde" title="River Clyde">River Clyde</a> they left the route open; they had calculated they needed £600,000 to build their line, and there was no possibility of local people investing that kind of money.

Ballachulish had a population of 1,800 at the time, and its industry was chiefly quarrying. </p> <div class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">United Kingdom legislation</div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox vevent mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary" style="font-size:100%"><span style="font-size:125%">Callander and Oban Railway Act 1896</span></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-subheader" style="font-weight: bold;">Act of Parliament</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/140px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="140" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/210px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg/280px-Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%281837%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1550" data-file-height="1550" /></span></span><div class="infobox-caption"><a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a></div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Short_and_long_titles" title="Short and long titles">Long title</a></th><td class="infobox-data description">An Act to empower the Callander and Oban Railway Company to extend their Railway from Connel Fernr to Ballachulish and for other purposes.</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Citation_of_United_Kingdom_legislation" title="Citation of United Kingdom legislation">Citation</a></th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/59_%26_60_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="59 & 60 Vict.">59 & 60 Vict.</a> c. cxci</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;">Dates</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label"><a href="/wiki/Royal_assent" title="Royal assent">Royal assent</a></th><td class="infobox-data">7 August 1896</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="border-top: 1px solid #aaa;"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/Vict/59-60/191/pdfs/ukla_18960191_en.pdf">Text of statute as originally enacted</a></th></tr></tbody></table> <p>Both railways were authorised by acts of Parliament on 7 August 1896, the <b><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238216509"><span class="vanchor"><span id="Callander_and_Oban_Railway_Act_1896"></span><span class="vanchor-text">Callander and Oban Railway Act 1896</span></span></b> (<a href="/wiki/59_%26_60_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="59 & 60 Vict.">59 & 60 Vict.</a> c. cxci) and the <a href="/wiki/West_Highland_Railway_Act_1896" class="mw-redirect" title="West Highland Railway Act 1896">West Highland Railway Act 1896</a> (<a href="/wiki/59_%26_60_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="59 & 60 Vict.">59 & 60 Vict.</a> c. ccxix),<sup id="cite_ref-carter_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-carter-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.

It was constructed by Arrol Bridge and Roofing Company, starting in 1898; it was done by building out cantilevers from each shore. There was another large bridge, <a href="/wiki/Creagan_Bridge" title="Creagan Bridge">Creagan Bridge</a>, but no other large engineering work on the line, although considerable sections of bad ground were encountered.<sup id="cite_ref-turnock_10-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-turnock-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.

The western arm of the authorised triangle was never constructed. Ballachulish station had a two-platform terminal station. </p><p>The Connel and Creagan bridges had been provided with a footpath on one side, but this was not public. Anderson met Argyll County Council and offered to open the path on the Connel bridge in return for a payment of £800 per annum. The council thought this was excessive and the issue remained contentious for several years. </p><p>In 1909 the company instituted a shuttle passenger service over the bridge, between Connel Ferry and Benderloch, by motor charabanc converted with railway wheels. The service ran on Sundays also, even though the C&OR did not operate a Sunday service on the remainder of the network. The charabanc also conveyed a flat truck by request, on which private motor cars could be conveyed, for a fare of 15 shillings. The driver and any passengers remained in their own vehicle. </p><p>Private motoring increased over the years and the C&OR was pressed to permit motor cars to drive over the bridge, but the C&OR declared that it was impossible to make a roadway on the bridge. The demand to permit pedestrians to cross also continued to be declined. </p><p>The matter was resolved when in 1913 MacAlpine Downie applied to the Board of Trade to operate a chain ferry at the crossing. The C&OR immediately made arrangements to open the bridge to motor cars and pedestrians, and this was achieved on 22 June 1914; special signalling arrangements were made to secure the safety of the operation. The toll charge was between 7s 6d and 10s. The C&OR continued to make obstructions in the usage of the bridge: Thomas states<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The company's policy on the bridge generated huge resentment over the years. </p><p>From the 1930s use of the railway declined, and the road network in the area was improved. As time passed the dominant use on the line was schoolchildren. </p><p>From 14 June 1965 the goods service on the line was discontinued, and on 28 March 1966 the line was closed completely.

Sleeping cars to and from London were introduced from 1895, six nights a week in summer and once a week in winter.

However, in 1928 a motor bus service was operated between Glasgow and Oban, with journey times comparable with the railway. The C&OR continued to encourage excursion traffic, often at very low fares. </p><p>On 10 June 1931 the first through passenger train was run via the West Highland line and the Crianlarich connection; it was a special excursion and made the journey in 83 minutes less than the fastest C&OR scheduled service. </p><p>The summer timetable in 1947, prior to nationalisation, shows four daily trains from Glasgow to Oban with three additional Saturday-only services.
