For a population of only around 1500 Kingussie has an impressive 1893 vintage stone-built station on the Highland line between Perth and Inverness. Facilities include a pre-1915 Edwardian post box (notice the ER VII) although whether these days it is regularly emptied I'm not sure and a Victorian water fountain although that looks defunct - the vandals took the handles!. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

A Scottish rail journey from 18 years ago. I travelled up to Fort William on the Scotrail overnight sleeper from Crewe pulled by EWS Class 67 diesel 67007. Here we are entering the horseshoe curve between Tyndrum & Bridge of Orchy on the West Highland Line. In the centre is the viaduct which we crossed a few minutes later & the other limb of the horseshoe is on the left. What a fabulous view from your carriage window to wake up to in the morning ! (Best appreciated in large view.)

The grey clouds are down on the mountains but there is a colourful bridge over the West Highland railway Line behind the fence on the right & the A82 road behind the other fence on the left. Taken near County Marsh Summit to the north of Tyndrum in the Scottish Highlands. Seen en route from Fort William to Glasgow. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

It's midnight on shed at Fort William and under starry skies Thompson K1 2-6-0 62005 is gently smoking away in preparation for working the Jacobite to Mallaig the following day.

The West Highland line in Scotland has some very gutsy, long gradients. The climb to County Marsh summit from Crianlarich is 7 miles of mainly 1 in 60 & here on the footplate of K1 62005 Neal is working hard on the climb.
