Description
The Callander & Oban Railway Through Time is a fascinating history of a railway line that was never profitable, yet played a significant role in shaping the development of the Scottish west coast. Construction began in 1866, but it wasn't until 1880 that the line opened, connecting the town of Callander with the port of Oban. The book brings to life the story of this railway line through a mix of old and new photographs, revealing the challenges of building a line through mountainous terrain. Although the eastern section closed in 1965 following a landslide, much of it has been transformed into the popular cycle path known as the Rob Roy Way. This book offers a unique insight into the history of the Callander & Oban Railway, and its enduring legacy on the Scottish landscape.
