| In the distance, just to the left of the center of this photo, about 18 miles to the northwest, is Ben Cruachan. A few days earlier some rocks fell off of the hill and damaged the railway track. The train to Oban was derailed and nearly fell onto the highway far below. The train crew got all of the people off hurriedly, fearing that the precariously balanced railway car was about to fall down the mountain. No one was hurt, but the road to Oban was closed for a week while they brought in and assembled a large enough crane to lift the railway cars, and then they repaired the damaged railway track. |
