Tom Fraser (driver) is my Grandfather.. my mother is 85 now (Ishbel Margaret Fraser). Tragic accident on the railway led to the death of her brother Angus Fraser aged about 17. My mother who was sometimes called Pearl would love to hear about this site so I will show her when I see her next. Comment left on 03 September 2017 at 23:56 by Morag West

Tom Fraser was related to my father William Alexander Mackay (Willie M) and he often talked about the accidental death of Angus Fraser. For the moment I cannot remember Angus's Embo by-name. The way my father told the story was that Angus was working at the Helmsdale railway station and was involved in the shunting of train wagons, and in this operation was somehow crushed between two wagons and killed. At that time he was a new railway employee. Comment left on 13 September 2017 at 17:25 by Kenneth Mackay Many thanks for this information. Such a tragic story. Administrator
