1A THE DEESIDE LINE

The Deeside Railway (from Ferryhill to Banchory) was authorised in 1852 and opened in 1853. The Aboyne Extension Railway to Aboyne was authorised in 1857 and opened in 1859. The final stage of the line, the Aboyne and Braemar Railway, was authorised from Aboyne to Ballater in 1865 and opened in 1866. The lines were amalgamated with the GNoSR in 1875-6.

1B ABERDEEN - KEITH MAIN LINE

The Great North of Scotland Railway was formed in 1845 with the ambition of building a double-track main line from Aberdeen to Inverness. In the end, the railway only got as far as Keith, with a separate line - later part of the Highland Railway - being built to form what was to become the main line to Inverness.

The section from Kittybrewster to Huntly was authorised in 1846 and opened in 1854. The Keith extension was authorised in 1855 and opened in 1856. The final link in the chain, the Denburn Valley line to Aberdeen Joint station, was authorised in 1864 and opened in 1867.

The line was doubled in various stages between 1861 and 1900, but reduced to single track in 1971.

It remains open throughout for passengers and goods, although only a handful of the original stations survive.

The line was reduced to single track in 1971.

The Denburn Valley line was jointly financed by the GNoSR and the Scottish North Eastern Railway, which had been formed in July 1856 with the amalgamation of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway and the Aberdeen Railway. The SNER was in turn amalgamated with the Caledonian Railway on 10/8/1866.

It was renamed the Banffshire Railway in 1863 and was worked by the GNoSR from that year. It amalgamated with the GNoSR in 1867.

However when the GNoSR built the rest of the Moray Firth coast line from Portsoy to Elgin, the coastal section was operated as a through line, with the Tillynaught to Banff Harbour section (see 2B) worked as a branch.

Good services were withdrawn from a number of stations in 1964. The line closed completely in 1968 when passenger services were withdrawn.

2B BANFF HARBOUR BRANCH

The line from Cairnie Junction to Banff Harbour was originally the main line of the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway, authorised in 1857 and opened in 1859. The GNoSR agreed to work the line in 1863 and the railway was renamed the Banffshire Railway later the same year, amalgamating with the GNoSR in 1867.

As the GNoSR extended the Moray Firth coast line through to Elgin between 1884 and 1886, the Tillynaught - Banff section was worked as a branch line. It closed to passengers in 1964 and completely in 1968, at the same time as the coast line.

2C KEITH & DUFFTOWN RAILWAY

Keith station, on what was to become the main line from Aberdeen to Inverness, had opened in 1856 (see 1B) and the Highland Railway section of the line from Elgin to Keith opened in 1858. The Keith & Dufftown Railway was authorised in 1857, opened in 1862 and amalgamated with the GNoSR in 1862. The branch was later extended in sections through to Boat of Garten to join up with the Highland Railway route from Aviemore to Forres.

The line closed to passengers on 6/5/68 and to goods in 1991. It was restored and reopened by volunteers in 2000-1 and now operates as a preserved line bearing its former name, the Keith & Dufftown Railway.

Reopening
The 11-mile branch reopened in 2000-1 and operates as a preserved railway, with stations at KEITH TOWN, DRUMMUIR and DUFFTOWN, although there is no longer any rail connection to the main line and station at Keith.

2D STRATHSPEY RAILWAY

The Strathspey Railway extended the Dufftown branch through to Boat of Garten, where it would link up with the Highland Railway line from Aviemore to Forres. After amalgamation of the early lines, Boat of Garten would become one of four points where the neighbouring Highland Railway and GNoSR systems were linked - the others being at Elgin, Keith and Portessie.

The line from Dufftown to Abernethy was authorised in 1861 and opened in 1863. The extension to Boat of Garten was authorised in 1865 and opened in 1866, when the line was amalgamated with the GNoSR.

The western section from Boat of Garten to Craigellachie closed to passengers in 1965, with the Dufftown section losing its passenger service in 1968. The line closed completely from Boat of Garten to Aberlour in 1968 but goods services ran between Dufftown and Aberlour until 1971.

2E MORAYSHIRE RAILWAY

This line linked Craigellachie with Orton, on what was to become the Highland Railway route from Elgin to Keith. But the opening of the GNoSR's own route to Elgin via the Glen of Rothes (2F) meant that the Orton section soon closed to regular traffic.

The section from Orton to Dandaleith was authorised in 1856 and opened in two stages in 1858. The extension to Strathspey Junction was authorised in 1861 and opened in 1863, on the same day as the Strathspey Railway's line from Dufftown to Abernethy (see 2D).

The section from Orton to Rothes closed to regular traffic in 1866, a few years after the opening of the Glen of Rothes route to Elgin (see 2F).

Passenger services were withdrawn from the whole line from Elgin to Keith via Craigellachie in May 1968 and the line closed completely a few months later when goods services were withdrawn.

The junction at Orton was quickly removed but for some years goods wagons were worked as required between Rothes and Sourden siding. A station was opened at SOURDEN, between Orton and Rothes, on 23/8/1858, with trains stopping conditionally, but this closed with the line on 1/8/1866. The permanent way was not removed until 1907. Clinker gives the spelling as Sourdon.

2F GLEN OF ROTHES LINE

The Morayshire Railway's Glen of Rothes line would ultimately provide the GNoSR with an alternative - but slower - route between Elgin and Keith to that offered by the Highland Railway. The line was authorised from Elgin to Rothes in 1860, opened to goods in 1861, to passengers in 1862 and was merged into the GNoSR from 1880.

The line closed to passengers in May 1968 and completely in November that year as first passenger and then goods services were withdrawn between Elgin and Keith via Craigellachie.

GNoSR LOCOMOTIVES - EARLY YEARS

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RAILWAY ENGINES (1853 - 1883)

A number of engines were built for the opening of the GNoSR main line (1B) and the extension to Waterloo (1C). Other early railways in the north-east had their own engines, although most of these were subsumed into the GNoSR on amalgamation. In common with many other small railway companies, the railway had a "duplicate list" system of numbering, where older engines which were not quite ready for withdrawal were renumbered to allow space in the main number range for new locomotives. In the case of the GNoSR, this meant adding the suffix "A" to the number of the older engine. Those engines surviving until the grouping were then renumbered by the LNER in 1924 by the addition of 6800 - giving ex-GNoSR engines the number block 6801-6915.

The list below shows successive numbers allocated to engines and the date of their withdrawal or sale in brackets.

Appointed superintendent of the locomotive works at Kittybrewster in 1853, D K Clark designed 12 2-4-0 tender engines for the opening of the railway to Huntly, built by William Fairbairn & Sons of Manchester: 1-7 for passenger duties and the remaining engines for goods.

Clark's successor at Kittybrewster ordered two small tank engines from Beyer Peacock to act as banking engines on the steeply graded extension from Kittybrewster to Waterloo Quay. They were placed on the duplicate list in 1890 and in their latter years were used for shunting at Keith and Elgin, and the Daluaine Distillery. They were sold to the government for war service but 14A survived at a colliery in South Wales until 1934 before being scrapped in 1943.

With the amalgamation of the Banffshire Railway in 1867, the GNoSR inherited four engines which were incorporated into the numbering system. The first two engines had originally been allocated only names rather than numbers.

HAWTHORN 0-4-2T

The third Banffshire Railway engine was originally no 23 of the Scottish Central Railway. It was renumbered no 3 by the Banffshire Railway.

The fourth Banffshire Railway was no 4 under their system. It was sold to the Deeside Railway and resumed its old number when the Deeside system was incorporated into the GNoSR.

Two Morayshire engines were taken into the GNoSR system when the company was amalgamated in 1880. The engines had carried the numbers 3 and 4 on the Morayshire. Two earlier engines - Samuel 2-2-0T locomotives built in 1852 - carried the numbers 1 and 2 but did not pass into GNoSR ownership.

Six 4-4-0s were delivered by Neilson in 1866 - the last new engines to be delivered for a decade because of the financial crisis that year - and three of them survived to be incorporated into the LNER numbering system in 1924. The LNER system involved allocating numbered blocks to each of its constitutuent companies. Ex-GNoSR engines were allocated the block 6801-6915 with 6800 being allocated to the original number.

The Deeside Railway had a fleet of eight locomotives, most of which passed into GNoSR hands, although they did not survive long after amalgamation and the numbers were soon allocated to other engines. DR no 1, a Hawthorn engine introduced in 1854, was withdrawn in 1866, while no 3, a Dodds locomotive also introduced in 1854, was withdrawn in 1864. The remaining engines were all Hawthorn 0-4-2Ts built between 1854 and 1866. The GNoSR number 39 had originally been allocated to Banffshire Railway engine no 3, but this was withdrawn in 1868, so the number was reallocated.

By the time Cowan's next group of six 4-4-0s, also built by Neilson's, were introduced in 1876, some of the early GNoSR engines had been withdrawn, leading to a somewhat haphazard system of numbering. Indeed 57 was soon renumbered 52 to take the number of a Deeside Railway engine which had been withdrawn from service. Another nine 4-4-0s followed from Neilson in 1878.

GNoSR LOCOMOTIVES - THE MANSON YEARS

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND ENGINES (1883 - 1890)

James Manson succeeded Cowan and soon designed a side-tank engine, the only six-coupled type to be owned by the Great North and the first in the country to have cabs fitted with side doors. Nine were delivered in two batches by Kitson & Co in 1884-5, the Class E model being slightly larger and heavier. Although designed for shunting and banking duties, the engines served on the Aberdeen suburban services and short runs on the main line and Alford branch. In 1903 no 8 was fitted with front and rear cow-catchers and worked the St Combs light railway. Latterly they were used for shunting at Kittybrewster and on the Waterloo branch.

Thomas Heywood (1914-1922) was the last locomotive superintendent of the GNoSR before grouping. The outbreak of World War One three months after his appointment caused further locomotive building at Inverurie to be postponed, although four small 0-4-2 tank engines were purchased in 1915 for shunting on the Aberdeen Harbour lines.

GNoSR LOCOMOTIVES - LNER YEARS

LNER LOCOMOTIVES

Although the LNER adopted the eminently logical scheme of allocating each of its constituent railways separate blocks of numbers to avoid duplication, the GNoSR's haphazard system of reusing numbers meant that the stock passing into LNER hands was already a hotch-potch of different classes introduced at different times.

At the end of 1922, 100 tender engines and 22 tank engines passed from the GNoSR to the LNER. The block 6801-6915 was allocated to GNoSR engines, made up as follows:

In 1943 the LNER devised a renumbering scheme to address the problem that its existing system gave no clues to the type of engine involved. The idea was to allocate blocks of numbers to different locomotive types, with 2000-2999 identifying four-coupled passenger tender engines, 7000-7999 passenger tank locomotives and 8000-8999 shunting tank locomotives, for example. The war meant that the system was not implemented until 1946, shortly before nationalisation. Those GNoSR engines surviving to be renumbered were:
