Creagan was a railway station located on the north shore of Loch Creran where it narrows near Cnoc Lodge in Argyll and Bute.

[edit] History

Creagan was the only station on the Ballachulish branch that had an island platform. There was a siding to the east of the platform, on the north side of the railway.

One platform was taken out of use on 1 April 1927.

This station closed in 1966, when the Ballachulish Branch of the Callander and Oban Railway was closed.

[edit] Signalling

Throughout its existence, the Ballachulish Branch was worked by the electric token system. Creagan signal box, which had 21 levers, was situated on the island platform.

The signal box and crossing loop were taken out of use on 1 April 1927.
