Description
The Engine Shed at Crianlarich Station, dating from the late 19th century, is an impressive classical brick structure with 13 bays, which remains largely intact. It is an important part of Crianlarich's railway history and exemplifies the architecture of the West Highland line, contributing to the shaping of the Highlands.
The West and East elevations are predominantly mirrored, featuring alternating blank and glazed bays with round-arched windows separated by pilasters. A corbelled eaves course adds to the architectural detail. Both the North and South gabled elevations include oculi windows at the apex, while the South elevation has a small replacement door. The main entrance is located on the North side, characterized by a large square opening with a modern two-leaf door.
Inside, the shed has an open timber roof that supports a simple and functional interior. A central railway track is flanked by a lower maintenance deck, which is accessible by steps. The floor is a combination of timber and earth.
The materials used in the construction include red brick and a grey slate pitched roof, along with fixed light round-headed windows that retain some original glazing.
