Taken from Souterford Road bridge, 158709 arrives at Inverurie with

the 12.00 Aberdeen to Inverness service. The train is just coming off the single track section that extends all the way from Dyce on the outskirts of Aberdeen. In the next few years, this situation is going to change as it is proposed to re-double this section of line eradicating a bottleneck that can have a serious effect on services. I hope that when this is undertaken that some serious clearance takes place to clean up the trackbed as that in the foreground is extremely overgrown.
