THE LANDSLIP that saw a river of mud and rock roar down a Highland hillside and resulted in an early morning train being derailed at Loch Eilt near Glenfinnan on Monday, has meant the route has remained closed for much of this week, writes Mark Entwistle.
Tonnes of stone and mud were deposited on the track after the mountainside above the railway gave way overnight on Sunday.
