Boat of Garten
Looking north towards Grantown on Spey with Boat of Garten North signal cabin standing over the remaining track work on 06 April 1973 in the early days of preservation by the Strathspey Railway. The point on the right had connected to the ex GNoSR line to Nethy Bridge but the scrapmen had truncated it just beyond the ex CR crane. The reason for the facing point lock here was to permit passenger services to run through from Aviemore to Craigellachie when the Speyside service was extended from Boat of Garten in BR days. On the ex HR line, a rail has been removed from each side beyond the point and at the north end of the loop the track had been lifted immediately after the point.
