Skye Marble Railway

In January 1910, the company put before the Skye District Committee plans for the railway including a level crossing in Broaford.

[4] The light railway extended 4 mi (6 km) from Broadford pier[5] to the quarries, and there was a branch line to the factory.

[7] The railway was operated by a Hunslet Engine Company steam locomotive named Skylark, which was acquired second-hand from Ireland.

Shortly after completion in late October 1910, Lachian Macleod, a native of the Isle of Raasay, was employed by the company on a service train between Broadford and the quarry when a wagon got out of control on an incline.

[8] The quarry railway was not successful for very long, and by 1913 the line was being offered for sale as part of the liquidation of the business.
