HistoryThe viaduct was engineered by John Strain, and is dated 1880.[1] It was built for the Callander and Oban Railway. It was listed as a Category A listed building in 2007.[1] On 6 June 2010, the Falls of Cruachan derailment happened nearby, when a two-car diesel multiple unit derailed and caught fire after hitting a rock. DesignIt has three arches, with a main centre span of {{convert|24|ft}} and side arches of {{convert|19|ft}}.[1] The piers are made of bull-faced stone, and the arches from mass concrete, a material not previously employed on British railways.[1] There is a parapet with a central crenelation, topped with a recent steel safety rail.[1] The viaduct spans the small gully created by the Falls of Cruachan, close to the entrance to the pumped-storage Cruachan Power Station, which is located in a chamber within Ben Cruachan.[1][2] It is close to the Falls of Cruachan railway station, a request stop.
