Glasgow to Inverness - Scotrail 170 - September 2012

Описание: Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness on the 10::10 Glasgow Q.S.- Inverness on the morning of Tuesday 25th September 2012, on board First Scotrail class 170 'Turbostar' 170 406, in 1st class. A wild, wet and windy day for the trip along the Central Highland Line to the capital of the Highlands - weather which resulted in a delay to the train. The film includes the Pass of Drumochter - the highest point on the national rail network (spelt "Druimachdar" on the sign adjacent to the line - a variation to the anglicised version: "Drumochter" which appears on the sign on the nearby A9 road). Some fantastic scenery, as well as features such as Cowlairs North Junction (where the line which leads to the West Highland Line branches off, just outside Queen Street; Greenhill Upper and Lower junctions, where the line to Edinburgh branches off, then the line from Cumbernauld and Motherwell joins; as well as all points stopped at en-route. Also features some well-maintained and well-presented signal boxes and operational semaphore signals at Dalwhinnie (the train doesn't stop at the station, but does stop at the signal box, for the driver and signalman to communicate).
