Page 174 is the afternoon Kyle to Inverness service train which our railtour was due to follow down the single line. Headed by one of Inverness (60A) depot’s ubiquitous Sulzer Type 2 Class 24s number 5125 it has the rugged coastline on the edge of Loch Carron and part of Kyle town as a backdrop. On the right are some fish boxes stacked which used to give the Guard’s Vans on these trains their unique aroma. When the Southern CCT behind the loco was built it probably never expected to end up so far from home in the course of its duties.
