Description

The Mallaig Extension: A Railway Journey Through Time In 1894, the West Highland route was extended to provide a vital link for Scotland's fishing industry. This ambitious project revived the Fort William to Roshven line, which had been lost in 1889. Construction began in 1897 and the extension was completed in 1901, with steam returning to the line in 1984. The Mallaig Extension is a remarkable feat of engineering that traverses some of Scotland's most breathtaking landscapes. The line crosses the famous Glenfinnan viaduct and passes through picturesque lochs, including Loch Eilt and Loch Ailort. Dr John McGregor brings this history to life with a wide selection of period and modern photographs. This book is a companion volume to Dr McGregor's work on the West Highland Line, offering a unique insight into the Mallaig Extension's dramatic past.
