A landslide that closed a stretch of Highland railway line for most of the weekend has been cleared and repairs at the track completed.
About 100 tonnes of mud and stones were washed across part of the Fort William and Mallaig line near Lochailort during heavy rain on Thursday.
Travel on the nearby A830 road was also affected for a time by the same landslide.
ScotRail said the work to the railway line was completed at 20:00 on Sunday.
The normal timetable resumed on the line on Monday morning, when the A830 was also fully reopened to traffic.

Rail and road travel in parts of the Highlands are being disrupted following a landslide.
The landslip has blocked the railway line between Fort William and Mallaig and the nearby A830 since about 18:00 on Thursday.
ScotRail said there was disruption to services between Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig terminating at or starting from Fort William.
The A830 is shut between the Lochailort and Drumsallie junction.
The landslide happened during a period of heavy downpours that affected Skye, Mull, the west Highlands and Argyll. The Met Office issued a yellow 'be aware' warning of heavy rain earlier this week.
