Classic Diesel Years – Kyle of Lochalsh & Wick
Author : Tom Heavyside ISBN : 9781840339413 Cover : paperback Price : £11.95
The second title in this new series looking at Scotland’s railways in the years between 1980 and 1993 written by Tom Heavyside and using his own photographs from that period. These were the times when the successors to steam trains were operating under BR and before Privatisation. The book shows many of them at work with backdrops of glorious Scottish Highlands scenery on routes that managed to evade the Beeching and later axes thanks to their remoteness and utility as winter lifelines.
Locations featured include Inverness, Clachnaharry, Lentran, Muir of Ord, Dingwall, Conon Bridge, Garve, Achnasheen, Strathcarron, Kyle of Lochalsh, Ardgay, Brora, Helmsdale, Georgemas Junction, Thurso, Wick and more.
