Old Photographs Railway Station Killiecrankie Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Killiecrankie, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The railway North from Perth was built by the Inverness anf Perth Junction Railway whose engineer was Joseph Mitchell, born 1803, died 1883. He was the son of the Chief Inspector who worked for Thomas Telford on the great road building programme in the highlands, and succeeded his father before turning to railways. In a remarkably short time this 104 mile line between Dunkeld and Forres over difficult terrain was constructed in a mere two years and opened in 1863. As was the case on the Inverness and Nairn railway, Mitchell designed some impressive bridges and viaducts.
