For over 100 years the Deeside Railway carried passengers and goods from Aberdeen into the heart of Royal Deeside, Scotland. Closed in 1966, a portion of the line is now being brought back to life by the Royal Deeside Railway Preservation Society, allowing families and enthusiasts alike a view into the fascinating way of life in the Victorian Era.
