Chronology

February 1989

During flooding, the bridge collapses and prohibiting all railroad services to Inverness and trapping all locomotives at the Inverness depot. To restore at least partial service on the line, a locomotive is trucked across Waterloo Bridge and set on the rails on the other side of the Ness. The bridge is then hastily replaced by a steel girder bridge.
