Dalanraoch Signal Box [3rd]
In early 1967 a northbound Edinburgh-Inverness service overtakes an engineers train at Dalanraoch loop, mid-way along the recently-singled section between Blair Atholl and Dalnaspidal. Even in the mid-1970s Inverness-based goods guards were in the habit of describing this location as 'Dalnacardoch', after the nearby former signal box on the previously double-track route - which was of course re-doubled in the 1970s to accommodate a resurgence of North Sea oil and Invergordon aluminium smelter freight traffic.
