Locomotive 61264, an L.N.E.R class B1, on Rannoch Moor.
The railway across Rannoch Moor, part of the West Higland Line which starts at Glasgow, is single
track and meets the road in the south at Bridge of Orchy.
Travelling north road and rail then diverge and the next station is Rannoch Station in the middle
of nowhere followed by Corrour Station which is also in the middle of nowhere. There is lots of
'nowhere' on Rannoch Moor!

Another view of the same train. This locomotive was built in 1947 by the North British Locomotive
Company and used to run on Scottish lines during its working life.
The railway runs up to Fort William and thence to Mallaig on the West Coast. The trains on this
line are not normally steam hauled but steam hauled trains do run on special occasions. This
photograph was taken during the 2003 Highland Steam Festival.
