ClikC Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Hi All, A little something dropped through my letter box today, which gives a little context to what we can see in the images, and also dates the images to being on or after 6th of May 1974. Scottish Region WTT: 7S58 shown in column 8 and 20: 7S58 shown in column 4: Explanation of references: 7S58 is described as the 14:31 Saturdays Excluded, Carlisle Yard 'Electric to High Street', booked for a Class 81. But likely could have been anything 81-85. Timetabled to depart Beattock at 15:28, with no mention of any scheduled activity. However, the train is planned to (as indicated by the * in both the arrival and departure times) 'Stops or shunts for other trains ahead or to pass only', at Beattock Summit and Abington. and (as indicated by the L in both the arrival and departure times) 'Stops to change locomotive/trainmen' at Carstairs. So, the activity photographed at Beattock could be down to a special traffic notice, or a not ruled out hot box. Any information from the appropriate sectional appendix would be welcome.
