Strathcarron railway station is a remote railway station on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line, serving the small village of Strathcarron and the larger village of Lochcarron in the Highlands, northern Scotland.
[citation needed] In the early 1900s, cars were occasionally carried between Strathcarron and Kyle of Lochalsh to prevent accidents on the hazardous roads and a ferry journey.
[7] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
The station has a passing loop 19 chains (380 m) long, flanked by two platforms which can each accommodate a three-coach train.
One of the Kyle line's three passing loops is located at the station (and trains are sometimes scheduled to cross here).
