66 171, stabled in Inverness station.

66171, stabled in Platform 5 between jobs, during the track relaying blockade between Inverness and Dingwall. Finding a loco in the North platforms is pretty rare these days. While loco-hauled specials are not that uncommon north of Inverness, the majority of these workings avoid the station, accessing the line to Dingwall via Rose Street Curve.

61994 at Achnashellach-b

61994 climbs towards Achnashellach station with 1Z24, the 13:30 Kyle - Inverness leg of "The Great Britain III" railtour. As usual, the loco is returning tender-first, due to the lack of a turntable at Kyle. The 60' turntable at Kyle, commissioned as recently as 1946, was removed many years ago and is now in operation at the Strathspey Railway at Aviemore.
