The three tops of Bennachie provide the backdrop to this scene. A narrow-gauge steam-outline loco hauling a single passenger carriage approaches the terminus near the Grampian Transport Museum. This shot was taken soon after the line was opened in the early to mid 1980s: exact date unknown. Does this shot show the original alignment to Haughton Park via Murray Woods?
