Rail accidents at Carrbridge
There have been two rail accidents at Carrbridge. One occurred in 1914, and the other occurred in 2010.
==1914 bridge collapse==
On the afternoon of 18 June 1914 a tremendous thunderstorm struck the mountains to the north of the Highland Main Line. The road bridge carrying the road from Carrbridge to Inverness across the Baddengorm Burn was swept away, while further down the valley the burn entered a narrow gorge, crossed by the railway by means of a narrow arch span of only 15 feet. The water was at rail level when the six-carriage 11.50 Perth to Inverness train, 9 minutes late leaving Carrbridge Station at 15:24 crossed the bridge. The first two carriages made it across but the bridge finally gave way; its foundations having been undermined by a vortex of water. The third carriage was left on the north bank of the burn but the next one was plunged into the torrent which soon demolished the carriage, drowning five passengers; remarkably four survived.
The enquiry laid no blame on the designers of the bridge as they could not have foreseen such a volume and force of water; which had never before occurred in the area. The bridge was rebuilt with a longer, concrete span.
