Fort William Scotland 11th September 2018

Fort William Scotland 11th September 2018
On the West Highland line & the 10.15 Jacobite crosses the River Lochy as it departs Fort William for Mallaig, headed by LNER/NELPG locomotive K1 2-6-0 62005, the foothills of Ben Nevis in the background.

I arrived early at the location in full sunlight but of course that didn't last long and I stood for 20 minutes in the driving rain. Fortunately it relented shortly before the train turned up, result happiness.

I like this very much!

I visited there a couple of years ago with this shot in mind, but the bridge was covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting. Really nice to see what I missed.

Best Wishes

Thanks a lot Peter. I took a photo of one of the Black 5s from the other bank by the castle a few years back so I was pleased to see the K1.
Cheers

A lovely shot indeed and certainly a location worth a visit i see .. fantastic to capture Inverlochy Castle in the trees there also but just to note the mountain behind it is "Meall an t-Suidhe" .. ( Ben Nevis is out of shot to the left )

Best wishes ... Steve

Thanks Steve. You are quite right of course and Ben Nevis was out of sight behind the clouds too!
