Added the detail back in; the original map was too simple and failed to provide proper context for the route, which many other wikipedia route maps are now receiving. Hence the existence of symbols for bridges, closed lines, etc. The Strathpeffer line is integral to the Kyle line's history, but I didn't restore the "alternative route" I had previously added; it's clearer to read without.
Made use of the two station symbols to denote the operationally-significant stations (i.e passing loops/termini) on the route, and included the closed alt-strathpeffer station at Auchterneed. Harbour symbol also added, because although there is no kyle ferry to skye now, for almost the entire route history, there was, and the scope of this article incorporates that.

The article's enthusiasm exceeds its comprehensibility in places. The purpose of Wikipedia is to inform people who don't know, not as a club for insiders who do.
To maintain the passenger link beyond Inverness, one daily train runs through to Elgin (in the current 2013-14 timetable) having in the past come from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen. Elgin trains have come from Aberdeen in the past? The passenger link beyond Inverness is mostly maintained by changing trains there.
The line is "running from Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh." But "The route was built in three sections: 1) Inverness and Ross-shire Railway between Inverness and Dingwall [etc]". That doesn't make any sense.
What is a "Stop ID SMS Code"? If you click on the links they give you an error code. Afterbrunel ( talk) 12:16, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
