Another of those magazines at Christmas time (2018). This time it was an old "Hornby Magazine" from 2012. This was originally intended to be a short reflection on the Ballachulish Line but it is developing into something much longer. There will be three parts to this story! This is the first post: http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/01/01/the-ballachulish-railway-line-part-1
In Part 1 of this story we covered much about the history of the line between Connel Ferry and Ballachulish. We start Part 2 with a few reminders of what was covered in Part 1 and provide some additional material from various sources before continuing our journey North along the branch. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/01/02/the-ballachulish-railway-line-part-2
As a lover of ferries, I find that service to be fascinating! Wonderful that it is so well preserved in video.
This is the third of three posts planned to cover the Ballachulish Branch. It includes the final length of the line approaching Ballachulish, some details about the quarries and a November 1950 article about the line which has been taken from The Railway Magazine of that date. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/01/05/the-ballachulish-railway-line-part-3
