Cairngorm Mountain The White Lady Chairlift 1961 - 2001 albell1970 2011-08-24 | Footage of Cairngorm mountain from 1968 & 1970. The Car Park and White Lady chairlifts were the first and longest in the UK. They were also detachable, side facing chairs which were aimed towards hikers and sightseers as this was a year round chairlift system.The chairlifts were replaced in 2001 by a funicular railway.Also featured:The original, single track road from Aviemore to the Cas car park built in 1960.The White Lady Chair began in the middle station building, connected to the car park chair, before being relocated to the roof in 1976.Coire Cas T-bar drive before being raised onto the gantry in 1977.Sheiling T-bar was used extensively before the car park T-bar was extended in 1980.The White Lady tow (1967 - 2007 ) The famous SCREAM was caused by engineers mounting the motor incorrectly so the lift was always running in reverse. Over the next 35 years, this caused serious wear on the gear box resulting in the unbearable scream until the gearbox was replaced in 2001 using the gear box from the recently dismantled Car Park Chairlift. The White Lady tow suffered a catastrophic failure at the top station, in 2007, after water entered the bearing housing and froze in the return bullwheel, resulting in it breaking free and hitting the first pylon. The drive unit was sold to Glenshee Ski Centre in 2009 for scrap and now powers the Butchart's access T-bar.
