Ben Alder Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I rediscovered this image recently, and couldn't decide where to put it, so thought this section was as good as any. It shows part of the goods yard and cable drums waiting to be carted off. It was taken in 1935,IIR, and the drums were part of mains electric becoming available in the town.

Ben Alder Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 This is the companion piece. However, I realised that I had already included these in a half forgotten thread on Thurso wagon traffic a couple of years ago details of which are here -m http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/61664-thurso-rail-traffic-in-the-early-70s/ - Must be old age.....

jasp Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Richard What a great pic - wonder the cart is up to the weight of that engine. Presumably it is destined for a boat. Jim P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Think of the poor horse! Fortunately its downhill to its destination- the load was for a private power company, the town finally getting mains electricity in 1935. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Downhill all the way - I hope the horse has good brakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
