Old photograph of a steam train in the railway station in Alves, Moray, Scotland. This Scottish station was the junction where the line to Burghead and Hopeman diverged from the line from Aberdeen to Inverness. Opened by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway, then absorbed by the Highland Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during 1923. The line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board in May 1965.
