Tesco freight train approaching the pass of Drumochter

Where the main south-north rail line goes through the pass of drumochter. This is the highest point on the UK rail network.

      Yes.
      You have to wait a while for a train to appear.
      But this is the main line from Edinburgh, north to Inverness, and the highest point on the British rail network, I believe.
      The line of electricity pylons, on the right, is alongside the main A9 road. Everything is channelled through this gap , or pass.
      The place is a curious mixture of emptiness and solitude on the one hand ; and transport/logistical busyness and rush , on the other.
