Craigendoran Junction
Euston, we have a problem... The Fort William sleeper stands in the loop at Craigendoran on the morning of 29 July 1967, following partial failure of a pair of class 27s on the climb north from the junction. The 27s were then joined by a class 20 commandeered from a nearby freight, but their combined efforts still proved insufficient. The photograph shows the trio having detached themselves from the train awaiting the arrival of a rescue locomotive from Eastfield MPD. An NBL type 2 subsequently appeared and eventually took the sleeper on its belated journey north.
