Thanks for helping my memory out. Like I said, a few details may be fuzzy but I will never forget that ride.

Cops never, but the one trip I did remember was back in the 80’s. I started out from Inverness and went down to Kyle of Lochalhen by ferry down to Mallaig through the Sound of Sleat and as the sun was going down by rail from Mallaig to Fort William,it was my first view of the Scottish National Monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the gathering of the Clans at Glenfinnan seen from the same viaduct as shown in the Harry Potter film, the viaduct is reputed to be the first all concrete construction of its kind and a legend has it that it contains a Horse and cart that fell in one of the pillars by accident during construction?? Glenfinnan was of course where the Highlander was supposed to have originated from in another film.
Finally just down the line I could see our mini - mountain Ben Nevis our highest in UK. Not comparable I know with what you can come up with in the Rockies Etc
In the Summer Steam lives again on the Fort William to Mallaig line.

On another trip going in reverse of that mentioned previously, I shared a viewing coach from Kyle of Lochalo Inverness with a retired American Admiral.
I may add I am an old Limey Englishman who likes Scotland.
