#OTD in 1923 thunderstorms led to acute flooding around #Carrbridge which resulted in the collapse of six rail and road bridges and the levelling of half a mile of railway embankments, but the old bridge survived

The @railwaytouring Great Britain XVI steam train will be on the HML tomorrow. See the link for times. Note special trains often run early or late. Please use safe vantage points, stay clear of the line, and do not trespass on the tracks https://t.co/ADAgv5vD3e
This week we head for the Highlands and there are not many tickets left if you fancy joining us both with Ross Wilson (from Tide Lines) on keys. Hope to see a few friendly faces over the coming days for some nonsense. 🪗🎻🎹 🥃 Tickets: https://t.co/IF6OnJDhXw
The line between Inverness and Perth is closed due to flooding. We are unable to run trains here until water levels have reduced and @NetworkRailSCOT carry out safety checks. Customers can travel on alternative routes via Edinburgh - Aberdeen - Inverness. /1
How do we make #ActiveTravel ...walking, cycling & wheeling... safer, easier and more FUN in #Cairngorms? I was sharing my views in #Carrbridge last night with a wee bit more work to do here https://t.co/hGmOzsxia8
Well done to all involved in Carve Carrbridge 2022! Such a high standard from the carvers and thanks for asking me to judge, not an easy task! @carvecarrbridge @Carrbridge
Path works from 29 Nov - Glencharnoch Wood
Works to improve access on the approach to the boardwalk bridge as well as replacing the structure itself. The route will remain open throughout for pedestrian access following onsite signage. @carrbridge@WoodlandTrust @CNPnature
From Duncan our community ranger: We are fortunate, in Badenoch & Strathspey, to share the landscape with Golden Eagles. White-tailed Eagles are also becoming more frequently seen to add to the excitement. Imagine my surprise to see both species over Carrbridge in the last 2 wks
From Duncan, Carrbridge Community Ranger: Crossbills are notoriously tricky to separate by sight, even with great views or in the hand! They are marvellous inhabitants of the rich forests around us & autumn is a great time to get out & have a look/listen for them. @CNPnature
Carrbridge Station is close to the historic Old Packhorse Bridge & also home to the @LandmarkParkUK, a forest activity park that's perfect for thrill-seeking families. See more ideas for family #DaysOutByRail here: https://t.co/C8bbZhv2Kw cc: @hmlcrp@ScotRail@Carrbridge
