		From Aberdeen to Glasterlaw with branches to Brechin and Montrose.

	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Trains operated by the Caledonian Railway (or the 'Caley' as it was fondly called) took part in the fiercely competitive 'Races to the North' in the latter part of the 19th century.
		At the height of the railways' role in the British economy, the companies running trains on the two principal routes between England and Scotland, the East Coast and West Coast main lines, strove to outdo each other in the time taken by their services to reach the cities of Scotland.
		Our Railway is then the modest but proud inheritor of the tradition established by its noble predecessor, renowned in the nineteenth century for the outstanding elegance and speed of its famous blue passenger express locomotives.
