Rails to Kyle of Lochalsh: Story of the Dingwall and Skye Railway, including the Strathpeffer Branch (Oakwood Library of Railway History)

David McConnell
4.9/5 (28130 ratings)
Description:Fascinating history of the Dingwall & Skye Railway, providing a detailed description of the initial planning (including obstruction by local landowners), building and early operations of the original 53 miles to Strome Ferry. The book then describes the extension to the once famous Strathpeffer Spa and the proposed railways to Ullapool, Aultbea, Lochinver, Laxford and Mallaig as rivals to the Kyle Extension. The heart of the book, though, is a description of the difficult construction which took over four years, of the 10 miles from Strome to Kyle. The building of the Highland Railway's "Skye line" involved blasting and cutting that resulted in this being the most expensive line in the British Isles. The book then concludes with a discussion of the operations and occurrences along the Skye line and Strathpeffer branch since 1897. Illustrated with black and white photos, maps, and graphs. With colorful end papers showng the route map.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
