Description

The Waiting Room and Signal Box at Corrour Station, built by the North British Railway in 1894, is a single-storey, rectangular building that features an adjoining observation tower signal box, classified as Type 6b. The structure is made of rendered brick with decorative banded dressings. It has a recessed round-arched door located at the center and is supported by buttressing at the corner angles. The building has projecting eaves that are supported by exposed timber brackets, and it is topped with a grey slate roof that has terracotta ridge tiles. The chimney stacks at the ends are coped and have clay cans, with a shouldered chimney projection on the northern gable end.

A linking section connects the waiting room to the tall, two-stage, square-plan signal box tower. This tower features a pyramidal capped roof with timber bracketed eaves and a slate covering. The upper stage of the signal box has continuous glazing, while there is a single-storey, half-piended outshot to the south, which includes half-timbered infill to the east and a projecting wallhead stack that breaks the eaves to the south.

The signal box has timber windows with a glazing pattern of 2-pane in the lower section and 6-pane in the upper section.
