More information, thank you!
In the summer, West Coast Railways operates The Jacobite steam train along the line.
One of the few regular steam operations on the official network. (Most steam services are on restored private railways.)
@PeterT , That is a clever way to keep heritage fleets in operation! I bet someone still has some pretty deep pockets to keep that working, though!

I think the train revenue is shared between Network Rail and the steam train owners (NELPG, etc., as there are usually 2 rented locos involved.) West Coast Rail is a repair and service operation, and they keep the locos running.
I suspect it is a break even or profitable deal. Seems to have lasted many years.
Interestingly, most UK preserved/restored Railways are supported by lots of small donations. I “own” a yard of the North York Moors Railway, which was their fundraiser when they bought the railway from British Rail. They won’t tell me which yard though.

Nice one, Wayne.
Reminds me of the Thomas Viaduct here in Maryland. Not as tall, but also curved, and 2-track. Its construction was finished in 1835, with horse-drawn trains being the first to use it. Still carries CSX trains!
Probably NOT horse drawn any more? 
Not if they can’t outrun the CSX diesels! 
That is very cool. Almost unreal looking!
On the bike forum I read, the member is mocking up a period bike build. Check the picture he picked for the background:

Scottish highlands, can’t remember what line it used to be, but they filmed Harry Potter on this viaduct.
