Railways Illustrated reflects the energy and vitality of the present-day railway scene. Here’s what’s in the October issue:
Splendid isolation
Situated in the Scottish Highlands, just on the edge of Rannoch Moor, lies the vast privately-owned Corrour Estate. Boasting unrivalled natural scenic beauty, the estate is served by a remote station located on the West Highland Line. But despite its isolation, Corrour is far from a quiet rural railway halt, as Andy Coward finds out.
Against all odds (take a look at me now)
Europhoenix spot hire locomotive 37901 Mirrlees Pioneer has emerged from a repaint into Trainload Metals livery, which it originally carried back in the early 1990s. Europhoenix managing director Glenn Edwards speaks to Andy Coward about the transformation of this remarkable main line survivor.
All’s fine on the Wensleydale line
The Wensleydale Railway runs through a scenic part of the North Yorkshire countryside, and barely a month goes by where initiatives from the line haven’t been in the headlines, with an energetic and enthusiastic feel about the railway. Andy Coward visits Leeming Bar to meet marketing and fundraising manager Nick Keegan to find out more about the railway and its plans.
