On a quiet Friday morning in the Scottish Highlands, a person lost their life after being struck by a train between Nairn and Elgin — a moment of private tragedy that briefly stilled the machinery of a region's daily movement. Emergency services responded swiftly, but could not alter the outcome. As is customary in Scotland, the matter passes now to the Procurator Fiscal, while the world around it — trains, timetables, and travellers — slowly resumed its rhythm.
