I am in the process of doing some research on the two most isolated outposts on the West Highland Line - Corrour Station and the passing loop at Gorton - and would be keen to hear any stories or recollections from anyone who lived, worked or grew up at either location in the years when the signal boxes were staffed.
Corrour began life as a private halt for the local estate but, in 1934, appeared for the first time on the public timetable while, up the line, the only passengers ever allowed to alight at Gorton were the family of the signalman and the children who attended a school housed in a railway carriage on the island platform.
