The Highest point on the UK Mainline Network
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- The Summits of Slochd and Pass of Drumochter on the Highland Mainline are visited on this latest railway photography adventure. A couple of Scotrail trains pass at each spot along with a GBRF 66743 working the Royal Scotsman train down the Highland Mainline.
The two summits are Slochd at 1315 feet (401m) above sea level and the highest point on the UK mainline network at Pass of Drumochter 1484 feet (452m) above sea level.
I did have a camera setting failure - Tip don't use Silent Shutter on the Canon EOS-R if you are photographing anything fast moving - the results will be useless.

This is an amazing video mate! Keep the good work up! :)
Brilliant piece of filming Andrew always great to see your posts. Have been on that line many times beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Many thanks, Adrian, driving down the A9 I did spot so many stunning locations - another visit needed?
Yes you finally visited here!
Many thanks, just had to visit these two locations driving down the A9
As good as ever......!
Many thanks
I love Scotland and been to Scotland on the train. The far north of Scotland is so beautiful.
I'd agree with that, a lovely place.
Beautiful video and photos! Thanks!
Many thanks! a lovely part of the world.
You certainly find some great places to take your photos
Many thanks, I'll have to get back to Scotland, so many locations to visit.
Excellent! Loved it as always Andrew.
Many thanks Andy.
Fabulous pictures Andrew
Many thanks indeed.
Super shots as ever, Andrew.
Many thanks, Peter, don't think I'll be using that camera menu setting again!
Andrew, have you ever thought about the Severn Valley Railway ? Runs by the River Severn, lotsa lush scenery and steam trains thrown in !
Many thanks, I visited the Severn valley a couple of years ago (2019 I think), didn't do any photography though, so I guess I should think about another visit.
Nice one Andrew!
Many Thanks, Brian.
Brilliant video, shame about some of the photos but the Royal Scotsman was awesome to see
Many thanks, Simon, yes, a real bonus getting the Royal Scotsman and such a pity I’d get that camera setting - anyway theres always next time!
Absolutely brilliant as always Andrew, I love your enthusiasm!
Wow, thanks, that's really appreciated and keeps me motivated.
Great video Andrew. Such beautiful scenery. What a bonus to catch the Royal Scotsman as well 👍🏻
Many thanks, Ben, no shortage of stunning locations but with fairly limited time I thought I’d just limit to the two summits.
Great video Andrew, as always. I wonder how many other viewers were shouting at the screen like me when you said "there's a GBRf coming from Aviemore, I wonder what that is?" - the Royal Scotsman of course!
Many thanks indeed, Nigel, I did wonder if it might be the Royal Scotsman, but what threw me was the destination - something like Perth Down Goods Loop or something bizarre, honestly I didn’t know if it was!
Short but sweet video. Thanks again Andrew for an enjoyable film.
Thanks Martin, I didn’t have too much content for this one and was in two mind whether to join this with another video.
Good video Andrew, lots of good useful information as well, all handy for our visit next year. We stayed at Pitlochry last time but really needed to be more coastal such as at Plockton near Kyle. Regards Peter
Thanks, Peter, we were heading to Blair Athol from Inverness, we passed through Pitlochry and did like the look of it.
@@AndrewShenton If you get a chance stay at the Blair Athol Palace for two nights, a dining and single malt experience.
Another great insight to your hobby, i wonder what the little hut was for.
Many thanks, Peter, I suspect the hut would be a Platelayers hut, for the trackworkers on this section to shelter and get warm by the coal fire - all in another age.
Certainly made your photographs a little more interesting in that setting. Lol. Nice shot of the royal. Have you emigrated north now. Thought had moved into that little house. Only joking.
Thanks Keith, I won’t be using the silent shutter setting, not for railways anyway. Back in England now, these were from a trip around Scotland a few weeks ago. One more Scottish video to come though.
See if you can get the film and a great vid again andy
Gut reaction- American Werewolf in London?
@@AndrewShenton yes sir classic film
Stay off the moors and keep to the roads and beware of the moon hahahaha
Yes, the moon was the giveaway
