A slice of the region’s rich rail history has been brought back to life with the official launch of the Pyrenees Rail Heritage Trail, celebrating the old railway line between Ben Nevis and Navarre.
The project, led by Dianne and Brett of the Landsborough & District Historical Group, has seen the installation of interpretive signage at seven former railway station sites, preserving the stories and significance of the once-busy line for generations to come.
The trail was officially launched this week, with one of the signs unveiled at the Crowlands Public Hall – a proud moment for all involved.
The Member for Ripon, Martha Haylett, praised the effort behind the project.
“Dianne and Brett are the masterminds behind the Landsborough & District Historical Group. Over the past few years, they have worked hard to deliver the Pyrenees Rail Heritage Trail.”
“These types of projects would not happen without local volunteers like Dianne and Brett. They have made sure our history is preserved for years to come.”
