Orbliston: The first day of April 2025 was bright and sunny as 66746 passed the remains of Orbliston station with the 13.06 Aviemore - Dundee, which was Day 2 of a Royal Scotsman private charter. The station, once the junction for trains to Fochabers until 1931, closed in December 1964, as did the goods yard which was on the right of the shot and was subsequently developed for housing.
