The trackbed of the old Crianlarich to Dunblane line that closed in 1965. This is actually Crianlarich lower which was retained for freight into the 1980s but also has now been lifted. BRCW and NBL Type 2s (27s and 21s) would have plied this line. 26/4/22
Some recent pics from a great trip on 30/4/22 from Dalmeny to Kyle of Lochalsh with @srpsrailtours and 37403/685 providing the power. Front coach for the climb to Slochd was very enjoyable

Please note the Pioneer on the 18th September will now be worked by class 50's, as 37190 has sadly developed a power unit fault.
