About the West Highland Line Extension Fort William to Mallaig 'The Greatest Railway Journey in the World' - this is how travellers from around the globe have described the 41 miles of line from Fort William to the small fishing port of Mallaig on Scotland's northwest coast. The West Highland Railway from Glasgow to Fort William was opened by the North British Railway in 1894 but it did not provide a direct link to the Atlantic coast and its rich fishing grounds. In order to fulfil that potential, the extension of the route to the port of Mallaig was approved by 1896 and the challenging construction project completed just 4 years later. The building of the line would involve carving a path alongside lochs, bisecting rocky mountainous terrain and crossing deep glens and ravines. Through the pioneering use of in-situ concrete in the formation of the line's bridges, viaducts and tunnels, Glasgow contractor Robert 'Concrete Bob' McAlpine would become world famous in his field.

The route boasts 11 tunnels and 8 major bridge structures including the iconic 21 arch span Glenfinnan Viaduct and Borrodale Viaduct, at the time of construction, the world's longest single span concrete arch at 124 feet.

McAlpine's innovative methods would enable him to deliver the route a full year ahead of schedule. The completed line transformed travel in this corner of the Highlands, opening up new opportunities for tourism and providing a strong link to new markets for the fish catches landed by the Mallaig fleet. Until relatively recently the railway offered the fastest and most reliable link to the south, the only alternative connection being via a tortuous, predominantly single track road. This is one factor which has meant that the route has never been under any real threat of closure in spite of its lack of profitability over the years. Today the line thrives as a tourist attraction. Steam hauled tourist trains operate two daily return trips between Fort William and Mallaig through the summer.

With its world beating scenery and global exposure through a number of blockbuster movies, the West Highland Line Extension has topped the list of World's most scenic railway journeys in recent years. Everyday operation on the route comprises a limited number of passenger services to and from Glasgow Queen Street, formed by Class 156 DMUs. Motive power on the route has been diverse over the last 100 years; NBR and LNER steam classes built specifically for the line operated into the 1960s, giving way to type 2 diesel hydraulic and diesel electric classes. The 1980s brought the much loved Class 37 locomotive to the West Highlands.

While the trains operating on the line may have changed over the years, the infrastructure has remained largely unaltered. Concrete Bob's constructions have managed to withstand all that this harsh environment has unleashed and the single line track layout exists more or less as built, with only the harbour spur at Mallaig being truncated in the 1960s. One aspect which has undergone significant modernisation is the signalling of the route. The NBR's original semaphore signalling was replaced in 1987 by Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) signalling. The system covers the entire West Highland Line as far as Helensburgh and is controlled from the purpose built signalling centre at Banavie.

Only the Fort William area is controlled by conventional signals, a combination of colour light and semaphore, from the original signal box at Mallaig Junction. The Road to the Isles Our journey west begins at the somewhat utilitarian terminus that is Fort William Station. The original NBR station was situated closer to the town centre on the edge of Loch Linnhe but it was relocated in 1975 to make way for a new bypass road. Departure is eastbound along the West Highland proper until we reach Mallaig Junction where the Mallaig Extension diverges to the north. With Ben Nevis towering behind us, the line passes the yard sidings and small servicing depot at Inverlochy. Once over the River Lochy on the lattice viaduct of the same name the line runs across the flat plain at the head of Loch Linnhe towards Banavie. The Signalling Centre dominates the platform at the station; beyond is Banavie Swing Bridge which carries the railway over the Caledonian Canal; the multiple locks of Neptune's Staircase can be seen lifting the canal some 20m as it heads east through the Great Glen towards Loch Ness.
