Druimuachdar Summit, first to almost last.

A day at Druimuachdar Summit, 1,484 feet above sea level, on the Highland Main Line had been in my mind for several years before I did it. My intension was to get all traffic from the morning down sleeper to the evening up one. But the fading light and worsening weather brought the evening to a early close. 6/7/2006

A new board has been placed at the 1,484 foot summit in Druimuachdar Pass.
At 12 minutes to 7 in the morning sun, 67007 approaches the highest point on the UK rail network with 1S25 2115 Euston to Inverness sleeper.
The view of Druimuachdar Summit from a couple of hundred feet up the hill to the east. An unknown class 170 Turbostar heads south with 1B08 0645 Inverness to Edinburgh, a journey of 3 hours 14 minutes.
The set passes the summit board in glorious morning sun. I spent the time on the hillside listening to the previous Saturday's Johnnie Lewis show from Radio Caroline on my mp3 player. What a way to pass the time!
