Long loads: Caithness, Scotland, Narrow Gauge Railway

After a holiday in Orkney, we crossed back and drove via John O'Groats and Wick before heading south through Inverness. About 6 miles north of Wick on the A99 we drove over a narrow gauge (metre-gauge) line. This was a surprise and it needed to be investigated. .... The linked article below is the result. Before reading it you might want to guess the length of the longest single, continuous load to travel on European railways. ...

Fascinating stuff!  My wife and I passed through that very spot several years ago, but this most innovative and specialized facility went undetected.  Thanks for sharing.
