 It was a considerable distance from the settlement after which it was named; in fact the line passed closer to Lochearnhead but high above it on the hillside, and remote from any public road.On the opening of the St Fillans line, a new Lochearnhead station was provided in the village, and the C&OR station was renamed Balquhidder.At this stage there was still a gap from the new Lochearnhead to Balquhidder, and work continued in constructing that section of the line.
