Scope and Content Lochgorm Railway Works, Inverness, Highland These workshops were founded in 1855 by the Inverness & Nairn Railway, which became part of The Highland Railway in 1865. That company enlarged and rebuilt the works to build and maintain their locomotives and rolling stock. This shows the south side of the works from the end of one of the station platforms. The simple, almost vernacular style of construction is typical of the company's provision of locomotive sheds and related buildings. These ones, which were for maintaining carriages, probably date from the 1860s. Though new construction of locomotives and rolling stock ended in 1923 when The Highland Railway became part of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway, the works is still used for maintenance, now of diesel railcars.
