The journey from Inverness to the Far North consists of

long moments of fairly tedious single-track interspersed with interesting stations and passing loops and some beautiful scenery but once past Altnabreac the land becomes flat and almost featureless until, seemingly out of the blue, the signalbox and junction at Georgemas arrive with a Sulzer Type 2 Class 27 ticking over in that desultory way that these locos did. The form was that the train drew forward into the station allowing the branch loco to come on the back and head our two uncoupled coaches off around the line to the right on which the Class 27 is standing in this picture.
