Early morning at Tulloch during Christmas 1987. The northbound sleeper, hauled by 37423, has drawn forward of the crossing between platforms due to its length. At the southbound platform is the morning train for Glasgow (37407 Loch Long). The train crews swap over across the tracks (they also guided a dismounting passenger). Slippery diesel was spilled all over the footway so crunching across the ballast might have been a better option anyway. Tulloch was very much in use as a maintenance base at the time, with lots of equipment lying alongside the platers hut on the left.
