A second scenic route in the Highlands is to close for an upgrade and repair programme.
The line between Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh will be shut for a period of three weeks starting at the end of November.
A number of different locations will see improvements made including the Carron Viaduct and upgrade work will also be done at Inverness railway station.
The £9m overhaul is being carried out a couple of weeks after the West Highland Line is shut for nine days in order to make it more resilient in periods of bad weather.
