Network Rail engineers have installed a new half-barrier crossing system at Delny in Ross-shire.
The project was carried out as part of a crossing improvement project at similar sites across the country, with only Dingwall No1 and Rosarie (in Moray) still to be upgraded.
Since 2012, a total of 21 barrier systems at open crossings have been installed across the route.
Alex Sharkey, head of operations, said: "Over the weekend our engineers completed work to install automatic half barriers at Delny.
"This new infrastructure will further improve safety for road users and rail passengers at this location while we continue to develop plans for a new bridge over the line.
"Level crossings are one of the biggest risks to rail safety and we are committed to removing public crossings from our network where we can, and installing barriers where we cannot."
