Steam on the Fort William to Mallaig Line

The line between Fort William and Mallaig is extremely popular in the summer with the steam workings. I have worked the route dozens of times as a steam loco support crew member, firing it several occasions. I have worked on Black Fife 44767, BR Standard 4 75014, LMS 8F 48151, LNER B1 61264, and LNER K4 61994.

    Former LNER class B1 4-6-0 61264 stands at Mallaig after running round the train and being locked into platform 2 to allow the service train to arrive. Ross and I had a superb run from Fort William. The train will depart at 1410 as 2Y62 back to the Fort.
    Back at Fort William and the loco has run round and the fireman is coupling the loco to the stock for the short run back to the yard as 5Y62 1620 off the station. Ross and I had a free ride thanks to Florence the guard. I have known Florence for many years and it was great to see her again and catch up. 16/8/2002.
    Fort William shed and K4 61994 stands at the head of the Jacobite stock and will take it into the station for the day's run to Mallaig. On the left is West Coast's 37676 which worked up light engine the previous evening. It will be used on the Royal Scotsman. 24/7/2010
