Hi Neil, a smashing wee video and well done to Simon and his friends for making it. I walked this line with a friend around 2006 ish and the two knackered cars were in the south tunnel at that time along with a host of farm machinery .. we had no torch so was a challenge for us to get through too lol !! The gradient from Perth to Glenfarg was such that locomotives were often double banked (two engines coupled together) in order to cope with the load they were pulling and when looking at the climb from Perth up to the Glen you can understand why. Even if you are not a railway enthusiast it's a worthwhile walk to do .... good one !! Cheers, Barrie

Thanks Barrie, glad you enjoyed it. I believe the stretch from Glenfarg to Bridge of Earn had a constant gradient of 1:74.

I hung a halloween skeleton there on 4th November, 2012 to 'scare' a group of walkers I led around a route, including the tunnels. I wonder if it is the same one?

They should look after all that it took a lot of effort and money to build all that ,it’s part of Scotland’s history shouldn’t neglect it ,never say no perhaps one time in the future the line may open again for tourists and the public it’s a scheme it was closed ,like a few other lines in fife ,old jimmy x pat I enjoyed your video thankyou
