Altnabreac railway station is a rural railway station serving the tiny settlement of Altnabreac, in the Highland council area of Scotland; a settlement in which the station is itself the main component. The station is on the Far North Line, within the former county of Caithness, west of Wick. One of Britain's most isolated stations, it is a request stop used almost solely by walkers and those who enjoy visiting obscure locations. == History == The station was opened by the Sutherland and Caithness Railway on 28 July 1874〔 and later absorbed by the Highland Railway. Taken into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced by British Rail, the station became part of ScotRail until the Privatisation of British Rail. The reason for the station's construction is a mystery, since it pre-dates the hotel/lodge one mile to the south - the only obvious source of trade. It had however a passing loop with a water-tank, so may have been established for purely operational reasons. Some pupils of the former Altnabreac School arrived by train. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Altnabreac railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
