Rail enthusiasts around the world have been marking National Train Day. The event was started by Amtrak, the American rail operator, in 2008 as a promotional campaign to encourage the public to travel by train and learn more about the networks history. It has since been adopted by enthusiasts around the world, particularly on social media, as a day to mark railway heritage. To mark the 2017 National Train Day, The Scotsman has shared several pictures from its extensive photographic archive of trains working across Scotland, from steam train excursions to famous express services.
