Steam Train West Highland Railway Line On Visit To The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a steam train locomotive on the West Highland Railway Line on visit to the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The Iron Road to the Isles is a railway line linking the ports of Mallaig and Oban in the Scottish Highlands to Glasgow in Central Scotland. After leaving Bridge of Orchy, the line climbs onto Rannoch Moor, past the former crossing point at Gorton Crossing to Rannoch station. In winter, the moor is often covered with snow, and deer may be seen running from the approaching train. The station at Corrour on the moor is one of the most remote stations in Britain and is not accessible by any public road. The final stop before Fort William is Spean Bridge. The section between Fort William and Mallaig passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, through Arisaig. Most of the line is a twisting single track railway through fabulous Highland scenery, often miles from the nearest road. The line between Fort William and Mallaig, is a filming location for the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter series of films.
