    Mainline connections from both ends, it would make a good cross country railway!

    Its worth, it, its just complicated. Like all good endevours.

    Speyside featuring a Rickety Suspension bridge that I had a hand in installing at Aberlour in1981

    Blink and you miss it including Julia's comment about it being a bit wobbly.

    If you start off from Forres, head south over Dava Moor, then back up the Spey Valley to Keith, before returning back to Forres on the ScotRail service, it would be the basis of a good day out.
    It might just be possible on a pushbike!

    Bit of archive footage popped up of possibly/ probably the first 66 on the railway delivering secondhand sleepers presumably for the Broomhill extension. Not sure of the year but its before the arrival of Beechgrove Garden so before 2002 anyway.

    Nice video. I think these are probably the stack that's been at Milton since their arrival. By April 2002 the extension was already complete and we had run crew training runs over it, I can recall being on the footplate in the cold of March/April 2002 as the crew familiarisation began.

    That stack was earmarked for Grantown I think. Do I have it right that the extension was technically finished for a while but needed a good bit of fettling and some spot relaying especially around Fisherman's Crossing? Its just a little before my time and my memories of that time are increasingly mushy.

    Yes I think you're right. My, even more distant, memories are that it was done by about the end of 2001. The last thing that needed finishing was the ground frame for the sidings and dock at the station, which was done in the last week before it opened.
