Raigmore Level Crossing
Location type
Name and dates
Raigmore Level Crossing (1855-), Scotland
Opened on the Inverness and Nairn Railway.
Description
This level crossing is east of Inverness on the line to Aberdeen. Harbour Road crosses the line on the level. A former crossing keeper's house is north of the line, east of the road.
The line is single track, having been originally single, then doubled and reverting to single again.
In 1943 a connection, Millburn Wartime Connection, was laid west from the immediate east side of the level crossing which climbed to reach the Perth line and give access to Millburn Yard to the north. The connection was single track.
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.
