The Jacobite Steam Train in Scotland is one of the oldest steam trains in the world, it runs in summer between the cities of Fort William and Mallaig in Scotland, for about 70 km, in about 5 hours and 15 minutes.
This railway line which crosses the Scottish moor became especially famous since it was used for the passage of the Hogwarts Express in the films of the Harry Potter saga.
