EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: Site of Former Railway Building, Lybster, Caithness, Scotland (1970) 2.. This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the Site of Former Railway Building in Lybster, Caithness, Scotland. Taken in the year 1970, this image offers a poignant glimpse into the past, as the remnants of the Wick & Lybster Light Railway stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. The railway, which once connected the bustling port town of Wick with the picturesque fishing village of Lybster, closed its doors in the late 1960s due to declining usage and the advent of more efficient road transport. This photograph, taken just a few years after the railway's demise, reveals the desolate scene that greeted those who once frequented the station. The photograph showcases the overgrown tracks, weeds encroaching upon the once-pristine platform, and the crumbling brickwork of the station building. The atmosphere is one of quiet reflection, as the passage of time has transformed the site into a tranquil, if melancholic, tableau. The Site of Former Railway Building in Lybster serves as a poignant reminder of the region's rich railway history and the profound impact that transportation has had on the lives of the people who once relied on it. Today, the site stands as a testament to the past, inviting visitors to pause and ponder the stories that lie hidden within its crumbling walls. This photograph, with its evocative imagery and historical significance, offers a unique perspective on the changing landscape of Scotland and the passage of time. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and consider the future, as we contemplate the enduring legacy of the Wick & Lybster Light Railway.
