KEITH TO DUFFTOWN RAILWAY
September 2008  

 
Waiting to depart from Keith Town station. On the left is a view from the DMU towards Dufftown, while the view on the
right is looking back towards Keith Junction


Very soon we are passing J&B's Strathmill distillery

The once busy Strathmill distillery siding lies rusting

Strathmill Distillery

 
The railway runs through nicely wooded areas

Along with the wooded areas there are also large open areas of green rolling hillsides

Near Towiemore with the start of the Cairngorems (blue mountains) in the distance

To the north of Drummure Station with a nice Strath on the right. Strath is the Gaidhlig for a Plain.

 
Left: Approaching Drummure Station. The iron-framed building is to be a loco depot
Right: The train comes to a stand at Drummure station

Drummure station looks a sad and deserted place without it's original station buildings

The guard removes a bicycle from the brake van onto the platform

The elderly passenger/cyclist heads of for a run through the very pleasant scenery in and a round Drummure and plans
to be back in time to catch the train back to Keith just after 2.pm

 
Rear views from the DMU as it travels in fine country with a rustic railway bridge to add character. Note telegraph pole on the left

Passing the fish farm near Park

Ditto

The Unit enters an avenue of trees as it winds it's way up to and past Loch Park.
It is virtually impossible to get a clear view of this man-made loch due to the
wealth of  trees growing along the railway bank

The driver's mate keeps a good lookout while the passengers enjoy the forward view from the DMU

 
Picturesque views from the DMU
