Steam Trains are run by private operators in the summer :
The Jacobite, or West Coast trains operate once or twice daily on the most scenic line between Fort William and Mallaig from April until September. This crosses the iconic Glenfinnan viaduct that features in Harry Potter. Mallaig is a small fishing village where one can take ferries to Skye and the islands Muck, Eigg, and Rum. Fort William is a base for further excursions to Glencoe, Oban, the Great Glen and Britain's highest mountain - Ben Nevis.
Steam Dreams operates luxury steam rail charters across the UK including some Scottish journeys.
This company operates steam charter trains in May and August within Scotland around the Fife circle and beyond. This includes the famous Forth Rail Bridge crossing.
