Transition at Drummuir..
Diesel replaces steam, with a BR Cravens DMU passing a steam service at Drummuir station in the late-50s / early-60s..
The DMU's destination is 'Elgin - via Craigellachie'..
Passenger services through here ceased in 1968, and the line closed down completely in 1991.
Today (2016) almost everything in this photo has vanished, and all that is left is a single running track, and one bare platform - where the DMU is standing. The line is now part of the preserved 'Keith and Dufftown Railway'.
The Cravens DMUs later became BR Class 105, and all were withdrawn by 1988. Today, only one complete 2-car unit, and a trailer, have survived.
