February snow

[marks87]

Just a wee bit of snow on the Highland Main Line this morning. This was Dalwhinnie (credit: Network Rail):

(Picture shows a 67 with its front entirely covered by snow)

There's been a handful of cancellations, and services that are running are delayed by up to half an hour, but overall it seems the snowploughs are doing a decent job.

Inverness Sleeper was 46 late in this morning, which isn't too bad when you look at the picture above:

Holy Moly! Pretty good that it got to Inverness at all.

Good of SR to actually take it through though.

Ahhhhh keep the photos coming! I love photos like this!

Presumably the train had been stationary for some time? It clearly could not have traveled in that condition - I can't imagine the driver had been leaning out of the cab window to see the road ahead. Great shot, though.

The train sat at Dalwhinnie from 0738 to 0751.

I should probably have noted in my opening post that it was Network Rail's photo, not mine! Now duly corrected.
