Repairing the Cairngorm funicular will cost less than removing and scrapping the structure, its owner Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has said.
The UK^s highest railway has been out of action since October last year due to structural problems.
HIE, which also owns the Cairngorm Mountain ski centre, said it had an indicative cost of fixing the railway.
The Scottish government will have to approve the repairs once the final cost is known.
