Looking back over to land I guess this si the exact route the line took Bridge 53 which carried the Upper Works Railway (UWR) over pipes D and E, partially raised and converted to a walkway.

Possil park is to my left this time The vehicle at the bottom of the Portal Incline Railway The portal Incline railway, looking uphill alongside pipe D Looking down towards the vehicle stil attached to the winch, just beyond where the track appears to end, there would have been a set of trap points, then about half way along before passing under bridge 53, there was a crossover allowing a connection witht he portal line which ran alongside pipe C and to join the UWR and eventually cross bridge 53 itself heading towards the Pier Railway Note, the track leading away from the Incline railway for pipes D and E was not definitely dug up, but with a slight amount of 'digging', it is clear the line was only covered I'm guessing this was a piece of cable for the Incline Standing bnow where there woould have been another two sets of trap points, looking towards Bridge 53 and pipe D Incline In this view from Possil Park, the track leading straight ahead is the route of the first Pier Railway Possil Park, looking in the direction of the line to Loch Treig Possil Park: The entrance to the loco and speeder shed Possil Park: The remains of somesort of vehicle dumped behind the Dock building Possil Park: The remains of somesort of vehicle dumped behind the Dock building Possil Park: The other end of the Dock building with rails embedded into the concrete Possil Park: The Dock building and the loco/speeder shed Possil Park: The remains of the Timber Impregnation Plant Possil park, from the Timber Impregnation Plant, it joined the UWR here in the direction of Loch Treig Possil Park, looking in the Loch Treig direction Rails piled up at the site of 'Possil Park' Rails piled up at the site of 'Possil Park' Possil Park: Sections of standard gauge rails Possil Park: Piece of standard gauge rail Possil Park: More narrow gauge rails Looking east, the cattle grid and deer fence are visible Looking back towards Possil Park depot Narrow gauge rails used for a cattle grid Narrow gauge rails dumped in the ground just beyond the cattle grid. This route is used by cyclists, who must see all this, yet there are no markings or information boards about the history of this route The trackbed winds its way north east Looking back to the cattle grid The UWR goes off to the left. The path to the right is another walking route though Leanachan Forest towards Spean Bridge, though initiall it may have been a small siding giving access to a gravel pit I believe this to be Bridge 51 Looking towards Leanchan Forst from Bridge 51
