Old Photograph Railway Disaster Carrbridge Scotland

Old photograph of the 1914 railway disaster at Carrbridge, Badenoch and Strathspey, Scotland. On the afternoon of 18th of June 1914 a tremendous thunderstorm struck the mountains to the north of the Highland Main Line. The road bridge carrying the road from Carrbridge to Inverness across the Baddengorm Burn was swept away, while further down the valley the burn entered a narrow gorge, crossed by the railway by means of a narrow arch span of only 15 feet. The water was at rail level when the six carriage 11.50 Perth to Inverness train, 9 minutes late leaving Carrbridge Station at 15:24 crossed the bridge. The first two carriages made it across but the bridge finally gave way; its foundations having been undermined by a vortex of water. The third carriage was left on the north bank of the burn but the next one was plunged into the torrent which soon demolished the carriage, drowning five passengers; remarkably four survived.
