Railways of the Scottish Highlands Series - Volume 3: "The Great North of Scotland Railway"

OVERVIEW:

The only one of the five Highland railways to include the word "Great" in its title it was, paradoxically, the smallest. Its compact little branches extended from Aberdeen through predominantly agricultural countryside, fringed by fishing havens along the coast. There was no heavy goods traffic, just passengers and perishables; Queen Victoria was herself a regular passenger. First published in 1965, the paperback edition was published in 1991 and includes much more historical information, some of it in extended appendices which took many months of hard work to complete.

Railways of the Scottish Highlands Series

The five books which follow tell the unique stories of the railways that penetrated some of Europe's most difficult terrain and opened up scenery as dramatic as may be seen from any train, anywhere. Remarkably, at least part of all five systems are still in use today, some carrying heavier seasonal passenger traffic than ever before. All these books include colour as well as numerous black and white illustrations, whilst appendices list all major facts like openings and closures of sections and stations.
