This photograph shows a Class 5, 45477, entering Muir of Ord on an up train in July 1950.
The LMS Class 5 locomotives were designed by William Stanier. Commonly known as 'Black Fives', 842 were built between 1934 and 1951. 45477 was built at Derby in 1943.
It was withdrawn in August 1966 and scrapped the following year.
On 11 June 1862 the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway opened their line between Inverness and Dingwall. It included a station at the village of Tarradale but the company decided to name it after the nearby cattle tryst (market), Muir of Ord. Eventually the name Muir of Ord was applied to the surrounding area.
