EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of the Highland Railway's Drummond locomotives as they plow through the heavy snowdrifts of the Scottish Highlands, likely at the station of Altnabreac near Halkirk in Sutherland during the 1910s. The Drummond Class locomotives, named after the railway's chief mechanical engineer, David Jones Drummond, were renowned for their robust design and ability to handle the challenging terrain and weather conditions of the Highlands. The scene portrays a sense of isolation and ruggedness, with the snow-covered landscape stretching out in every direction, dotted with the occasional tree or building. The locomotives, with their large stacks billowing out plumes of steam, appear to be the only signs of life in this winter wonderland. The men in the photograph, shoveling snow from the tracks, add a sense of human effort and perseverance in the face of nature's harsh conditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of railway transportation in Scotland during a time when the railways played a crucial role in connecting remote communities and facilitating the movement of goods and people. The image also serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and hard work required to keep the railway running in such extreme weather conditions.
