Northbound train at Brora Station

This photograph shows a northbound train at Brora station, where the railway line to Wick and Thurso leaves the coast to run inland. The locomotive is No. 37011.

Brora was opened for passenger services on 1 November 1870 as part of the Duke of Sutherland's Railway. Goods services commenced not long after and were withdrawn in January 1984. The station is served by passenger trains to Wick.

The Class 37 diesel electric locomotives were built by English Electric for British Railways in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They were introduced on services north of Inverness around 1980 and superseded in the early 1990s.
