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.
Join us on a memorable trip and discover what the Strathspey heritage steam railway is like!

It is a popular tourist attraction that offers visitors the opportunity to experience a nostalgic journey through the stunning Scottish Highlands aboard vintage steam and diesel locomotives.

History: The Strathspey Railway was originally part of the Highland Railway network and was opened in 1863 as a standard gauge railway line. It served as an important transportation link for the region, primarily carrying passengers and goods, including timber from the nearby forests.
Preservation: The line was closed to regular passenger services in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts, a series of railway closures in the UK.

Special events, such as dining experiences and themed excursions, are also organized on occasion. The railway often hosts events like Thomas the Tank Engine-themed days, which are particularly popular with families.
Broomhill Station: Broomhill Station, located at the end of the line, is a highlight of the Strathspey Railway experience. It is a meticulously restored station that retains its historic charm.
