NH9013 : Highland Main Line leaving Aviemore
taken 2 years ago, near to Dalfaber, Highland, Scotland
The Highland Main Line is a railway in Scotland, linking the cities of Perth and Inverness. As its name suggests, it passes through the Scottish Highlands.
The route is 118 miles (190 km) long. It includes the highest point on Britain's main line railway network, at Druimuachdar Summit, 1,484 feet above sea level. Much of the line is single track, with passing loops at most of the stations and several other locations. The 23-mile stretch between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinne, over the summit at Druimuachdar, is double track.
Some history of the line can be found on the Highland Main Line Community Rail Partnership's website: Link
