Rail passengers in Perthshire faced disruption on Wednesday after a train broke down and blocked the line.
The incident, involving a freight train, happened between Pitlochry and Blair Atholl just after 10am.
A rescue train was sent to Perthshire to help the driver with the fault, but the line was not cleared until early afternoon.
The issue caused delays for passengers travelling between the central belt and Inverness.
