On Track at the Strathspey Railway. An attempt to document the activities of the Strathspey Railway permanent way department. Saturday, 21 February 2015. Aviemore Carriage Storage Shed - 21st Febuary 2015. The culmination of three days hard work, unloading wagon loads of sandy material by hand, presumably obtained from the Sand Pit at the back of Boat of Garten Yard, certainly put a strain on Fergus' back. But as can be seen from above - lightening Jim Clark was on hand with the shovel today! Leaving app...

Start on spot Re-Sleepering from 89 3/4 mile post - 20th June 2015. An excellent turnout again meant in theory - "many hands make light work! In practice it was a different story but good progress was made through teamwork. Sorry no photos on this occasion but we are likely to be re-sleepering for some time as there are only166 to replace.

On Track at the Strathspey Railway. An attempt to document the activities of the Strathspey Railway permanent way department. Sunday, 7 June 2015. Boat of Garten Headshunt recommissioned - 6th June 2015. Good to see some "new" faces in the squad - Steven who returns after a 30 year break! And Angus who hopefully, is still "Jim's friend", after Jim convinced him to come along. Mike thinks he spots a rather inaccessible lost golf ball, to add to his collection.

Whisky Shunters: September 2016
http://whiskyshunters.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
The distillation of Scotch Whisky has long been an important activity in the Strathspey area, and from the late 19th century to the latter part of the 20th century railways played a vital part in supporting the whisky industry. The Strathspey Railway is fortunate in having two locomotives that played a key part in supporting the Speyside whisky industry. To find out more about our aims, follow this link.
