History

This station opened on 1 August 1873, when the Callander and Oban Railway was extended from Glenoglehead to Tyndrum.

The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There were sidings on the north side of the station.

The station was closed on 27 September 1965 following a landslide in Glen Ogle.
