Steam trip at Strathspey Railway behind Black 5 - plus New Observation Carriage

Come along with me as we take a railway journey through the Scottish Highlands. We travel on the iconic Strathspey Railway from Aviemore to Boat of Garten and then on to Broomhill. This is a steam locomotive hauled service that takes passengers on a scenic journey through the heart of the Cairngorms national park in the centre of Scotland.
Today we're being hauled by steam locomotive number 5025, a Black 5 class 4-6-0 engine. In 2023 the railway introduced an Observation Car coach and in this video we travel inside the unique beaver tail Coronation coach.
