Ben Alder Level Crossing
No, not broad gauge in the Highlands. The northbound 'Clansman' passes an engineers' train and ongoing work on reinstatement of double track south of Dalwhinnie in 1976. At the time, following a major surge of heavy commodity rail freight - to and from the Invergordon aluminium smelter, and North Sea oil-related pipe traffic - rail held a market share of around a half of all road and rail tonnage over Druimuachdar.
