'CHARD Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I wonder where this is, or more probably 'was.' http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uF9LxLuAj0w/ViYVoqRr3bI/AAAAAAACZjA/GCojTydSieg/s400/Old%2BPhotograph%2BRailway%2BLine%2BThrough%2BGlenfarg%2BPerthshire%2BScotland.JPG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not 100% sure but I think the view might be looking south between the tunnels and Glenfarg station. There is also a watercourse off to the right in both photographs. Good thinking - I believe now that the watercourse is actually the Farg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I'm not certain, but this shot of Blairadam station might be new to us: https://picclick.co.uk/Blairadam-Railway-Station-Photo-Kelty-Loch-Leven-251858466176.html#&gid=1&pid=1 Kelty is relatively camera shy too: https://picclick.co.uk/Kelty-Railway-Station-Photo-Cowdenbeath-Blairadam-Kinross-252529419477.html#&gid=1&pid=1 What philistine decreed that this beautiful edifice should be swept away with the stroke of a pen? https://picclick.co.uk/Kinross-Jct-Railway-Station-Photo-Milnnathort-to-Balado-261515434467.html#&gid=1&pid=1 Edited December 5, 2018 by 'CHARD 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wray Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hope these are of interest found them while clearing out my late Uncles house he was station master at Glenfarg between 1957 and 1963, I also have found some video taken at the station but will need to split it from other family clips as the were all put on the same disc when transferred from film. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Great photos, the Class 26s look rather shiny and new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2020 Amazing pics, the 26s seem regular performers on the line, pretty much from new? Love the railbus too, what services would they have worked? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevmac Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Recently came across this aerial shot of Glenfarg which gives a great view of the station and goods yard. No date but I reckon this is late 50's owing to the new housing development off Greenbank Road. Possibly in the era of Wray's Uncle as stationmaster 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John This is where I got to before O gauge overtook me! If anyone wants this and the signal box, please just get in touch. John 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevmac Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 This is fantastic. Great work. I wonder if the Glenfarg Village Hall would be interested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevmac Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Recently found this photo of Glenfarg station in colour on the village FB page. Apparently taken in 1976 just prior to it’s demolition. It was used by the workmen constructing the M90 to store tools. The second photo (also 1976) is just after it’s demolition to make way for the northbound carriageway.
