The Flying Scotsman is due to have a full mechanical inspection after a low speed crash.
The 100-year-old steam train was involved in a “shunting incident” on Friday at Aviemore Railway Station, near Inverness.
Two people were treated in hospital “as a precaution” and an investigation was launched after emergency services rushed to the scene just after 7pm.
The world-famous steam train was scheduled to take tourists on trips at the weekend, which had to be postponed.
The crash was described as a “particularly difficult situation” by heritage line The Strathspey Railway.

A statement said the inspection was “the earliest the owners can achieve”.
Eight appliances from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service went to the scene, along with officers from Police Scotland.
A statement from the Belmond and Strathspey Railway about the incident on Friday evening said: “A shunting incident occurred when the Flying Scotsman locomotive was being coupled with Belmond’s Royal Scotsman train carriages, which were stationary on heritage railway line, Strathspey Railway.
“Flying Scotsman was visiting the railway as part of a planned excursion.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police inquiries have concluded following a low-speed train collision at Aviemore railway station on Friday 29 September.
“There was no criminality and the matter has been referred to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.”
Owned by the National Railway Museum in York and operated and maintained by Riley & Son (E) Ltd, based in Heywood, Greater Manchester, The Flying Scotsman is celebrating its centenary year.
It was the first locomotive of the newly formed LNER (London and North Eastern Railway). Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and numbered 1472, the locomotive was not named ‘Flying Scotsman’ until the following year when it was picked to attend the British Empire Exhibition in London and renumbered 4472.
The locomotive went on to operate in service until 1963 and later in preservation, which included tours of the USA, Canada and Australia.

A spokesperson for the National Railway Museum said: "Following the shunting incident involving Flying Scotsman and the Royal Scotsman train carriages at Strathspey Railway on Friday 29 September, immediate action was taken by teams on the ground to alert the emergency services and prepare for a full investigation of the incident.
"Standard procedures are being followed to assess what happened during the incident and inspections are taking place by an independent investigator on behalf of Strathspey Railway, and the NRM’s collections and rail operations teams. In addition, the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has been notified.
"The museum’s aim is to understand what happened and to determine if there is any damage to Flying Scotsman as its owner.
"We will make further announcements about Flying Scotsman’s operating calendar and future dates, once investigations are complete.
"The National Railway Museum wishes to thank the emergency services who attended the scene on Friday for their prompt response and to the staff and crew of the Strathspey Railway and the Royal Scotsman train."
As part of its centenary celebrations, the steam locomotive is due to go on 'rare' display at the National Railway Museum from October 21 to November 5.
The Flying Scotsman last went on static display on the historic turntable in the museum's Great Hall in 2016.
After its visit to the National Railway Museum, The Flying Scotsman is due to return to its birthplace of Doncaster in November, on the next stop in its centenary programme.
The world-famous locomotive is then scheduled to visit Locomotion in Shildon for a special centenary festival sponsored by CrossCountry, where the locomotive will be in light steam outside of the museum.
