Please see below a photograph taken yesterday from a helicopter flying over the West Highland Line.
The photo shows one of four avalanches which took place on Friday, closing the line between Tyndrum Upper and Bridge of Orchy.
The avalanches came from the slopes of Beinn Odher which the line crosses.
We have been unable to clear the site to date due to the risk of further avalanches, however, avalanche specialists are travelling to the site via helicopter today to take bore samples and provide a more detailed understanding of the risk.
Provided that the all-clear is given, we expect to move our snow-blowers onto site to begin clearing the line tomorrow.
UPDATE: This from Captain Deltic...
Do NR choppers play the Ride of the Valkyries as a sound track for their inspection work.
