Steam Train Locomotive Leaving The Railway Station On History Visit To Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a steam train locomotive leaving the railway station on history visit to Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The station was opened, as Perth General, by the Scottish Central Railway in 1848. Originally the terminus of the SCR main line from Greenhill Junction near Glasgow, it soon became a junction of some importance with the arrival of the Dundee and Perth Railway from Dundee, following the completion of a bridge across the River Tay, the Edinburgh and Northern Railway from Ladybank on the Fife coast and the Scottish Midland Junction Railway from Forfar within months. Subsequent construction by the Perth and Dunkeld Railway and the Perth, Almond Valley and Methven Railway added further lines into/out of the city, with the former becoming part of what is now the Highland Main Line to Inverness.
