Loch Eil Outward Bound railway station is a railway station on the northern bank of Loch Eil in the Highland region of Scotland. This station is on the West Highland Line. Its name refers to the nearby Outward Bound centre that the station was built to serve.
[edit] History
This station opened in May 1985. It comprises a single platform on the north side of the railway.
[edit] Signalling
On 6 December 1987, the station became a Token Exchange Point when the Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) system was commissioned between Mallaig Junction (now called 'Fort William Junction') and Mallaig. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station.
