Machrihanish railway station

The Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway was a 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) narrow gauge railway in Kintyre, Scotland, between the towns of Campbeltown and Machrihanish.

The station had a small wooden station building with a corrugated iron roof that slightly projected at the front to provide shelter,[3][4] no platforms and only a run round loop for the locomotive.

It was situated near the seaside village and the local hotel, now largely built over.

[7] Upgraded from a coal carrying mineral lined and opened for passenger traffic in 1906, the railway did not have stations as such, just places where the train halted to pick up passengers.

Many of the passengers were day trippers from Glasgow as a turbine steamer would bring passengers to Campbeltown early enough to catch a train to Machrihanish and allow a return journey all in one day.
