Attendees should also bring waterproofs and work gloves, and kneeling pads if they have them.

 Railway Operations in Strathspey World War 2

Talk by Dr Steve Goodall

Organised by Grantown Museum. Venue: Grantown Museum.

Part of a series of 3 talks by Steve exploring wartime Strathspey. In the last few years, many previously unknown records which have lain undisturbed since the Second World War have been digitised and made publicly available by national archive centres. Dr Steve Goodall presents an overview of the new insights that they offer with a Strathspey context. The three talks will share stories, operations, characters, and images of these significant organisations, enabling a new perspective and understanding of their activities.
