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. One of the Kyle line's three passing loops is located at the station (and trains are sometimes scheduled to cross here), though the Radio Electronic Token Block signalling system used is remotely supervised from Inverness.
The station was opened in 1870 by the Dingwall and Skye Railway.
Services
Four trains per day each way call at the station Mon-Sat, with two each way on summer Sundays and a single service each way on Sundays in the winter months.
