D.J. Henderson's photos with the keyword: level crossing

Looking uphill. towards Achnasheen, from the Down platform at Garve station. It was a lovely evening farther west, as can be seen by the sunlight on the distant hillside. Beyond the crossing, the line climbs at 1:50, past Gorstan, towards the summit at Corriemoillie(429ft).

A similar view to the previous shot, 7 years later, without the hen but with the new barriers. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for safety but, could this money not have been spent at a level crossing where trains travel faster than walking speed? Here, all westbound trains stop at the station to exchange tokens, while all eastbound workings are slowing to stop at the same station, for the same reason. Even the marginally faster-moving trains, approaching from the west, are visible for hundreds of yards, before reaching the crossing. Anyone stupid enough, or blind enough, not to see the flashing lights, hear the train horn, or see the b***** train, will probably drive straight through the barrier anyway!!
