On the Jacobite.

[curiouswombat]

The train journey from Mallaig to Fort William is regarded as one of the greatest railway journeys in the world. I have done it before, just on the ordinary train, and it really is a great trip. For many years it has been one of the few parts of the main-line network that had a regular steam hauled train in the summer - known as The Jacobite

What a great photo of your hubby.

He grumbled a bit on the coach bits of the holiday - but was a very happy man whenever we were on, and around, the steam trains!

Guys and trains, it's a beautiful thing! :DD You should tell him that my great nephew is studying to be a train engineer. He's train mad! :DD

It’s lovely to see so much unspoiled countryside isn’t it? I marvel at the feat of engineering that bridge is :)

It really is good to see so much untamed countryside - we spotted deer and, I think, a pair of eagles. And yes - the viaduct is an amazing piece of engineering - it was built at the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth century.

What gorgeous pictures! Such wonderful country. And a magnificent engine, and what appears to be a thoroughly likeable husband! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

It's my pleasure! Literally, as it is now here for me to go back to as well.

He is a thoroughly likeable husband - even though he does moan sometimes :) And he does like a good steam engine.
