158704 at Muir of Ord on the rear of 2H65, the 17:54 Inverness - Wick/Kyle. The leading unit (158705) will detach at Dingwall, running forward to the Far North, leaving 158704 to form 2H87, the 18:30 Dingwall - Kyle. This arrangement continued until the December timetable change in 2014 when 2H87 went back to the previous set-up, still leaving Inverness at 17:54, but running as a simple 2-car to Kyle.

Especially on a wet, dark night, the driver would have seen nothing amiss until the last second. In the days before RETB, he would have had a long walk to a phone.

158723 awaits recovery after hitting a landslide between Ardnarff and Stromeferry while working 1H87, the 15:23 Aberdeen - Kyle on 18/11/2008. The line reopened with the last train from Inverness on 24th November.

158723 awaits recovery after hitting a landslide between Ardnarff and Stromeferry while working 1H87, the 15:23 Aberdeen - Kyle on 18/11/2008. That front bogie took a battering and there is, at least, superficial damage to the wheelsets.

158708 awaits departure from Platform 5 at Inverness with 2H87, the 17:54 to Kyle.
