SidingsName and dates
Millburn Wartime Connection (1943-1987)Opened on the Inverness and Nairn Railway.
Description
In 1943 a connecting line was laid west from the immediate east side of Raigmore Level Crossing which climbed to reach the Perth line near Millburn Junction and give access to Millburn Yard to the north. The connection was single track.
This was the furthest east connection between the two lines in the Inverness area.
The wartime connection was taken out around 1987 in preparation for the re-signalling of Inverness. A freight train from Aberdeen must now reverse twice to reach Millburn Yard.
This connection has been referred to as the 'Burma Road'.
