An Inverness-bound freight passes through the open level crossing at Bunchrew in 1970. Bunchrew was one of some 16 wayside stations on the Far North Line whose closure (in June 1960) pre-dated the Beeching era. This is also the location where a Network Rail employee had a narrow escape when his car collided with a train in May 2008 (see news items).
