The Harry Potter Train – Jacobite Steam Train<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Jacobite Steam Train is a steam locomotive train currently operating as a tourist train<\/a> that covers the Fort William-Mallaig route<\/strong>. This route was inaugurated in 1901 and connects the mountainous area of \u200b\u200bFort William with the Atlantic Ocean. In 1967 all steam locomotives were replaced by diesel locomotives. As of 1984 this route returned to work continuously, as a tourist attraction, and the original steam locomotive was recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n
