The Strathspey Railway Steam Locomotive 828 at Broomhill Station, Strathspey Inverness-shire. SCO 8726
The Strathspey Railway (SR) in Badenoch and Strathspey, Highland, Scotland, operates a 10 mile (16 km) preserved railway from Aviemore to Broomhill via Boat of Garten, part of the former Inverness and Perth Junction Railway (later part of Highland Railway) which linked Aviemore with Forres. The role of the Strathspey Railway Association is to provide funding and volunteers to run the Strathspey Railway. It is the biggest shareholder in the Strathspey Railway Company, the organisation which owns the light rail orders and operates the railway. Most of the people who work on the railway are volunteers belonging to the Association. The line reaches its current terminus at Broomhill, in countryside roughly half-way between the villages of Nethy Bridge and Dulnain Bridge. The replica station building has been reconstructed on the foundations of the original. The run-round loop is beyond the station. It is anticipated that this will be removed when the extension to Grantown is complete. Broomhill is used as the station for Glenbogle, in the BBC series "Monarch of the Glen".
