    40145 tears past digging into the 1 in 60 climb, it sounded just fantastic as it passed the gathered gallery. It could be heard for a good five minutes as it headed for Daviot and onto Slochd Summit. 28/8/2005
    After the class 40 had gone south it was back to Inverness to get another railtour. We pick up the train as it crosses over the Ness Viaduct heading for the Kyle. 37417 pilots 37401 on 1Z37 0853 Aberdeen to Kyle of Lochalsh.
    Out on the Kyle branch, the pair of type 3 locos come round the sharp curve at the site of Fodderty Junction, junction for the closed short branch to Strathpeffer, and the bottom of the climb to Raven Rock summit, 4 miles away.
