Tweedmouth
Preserved ex-NBR 4-4-0 no 256 Glen Douglas + J37 no 64624 approaching Tweedmouth from the west with the RCTS (West Riding Branch) Borders Railtour of 9 July 1961. The pair had taken over the railtour at Hawick and, following visits to Greenlaw and Jedburgh, are standing at signals awaiting clearance to enter Tweedmouth station, where A1 Pacific no 60143 Sir Walter Scott would take over the train for the next leg to Newcastle. Shieldfield Terrace is on the right, with the rear of the train standing alongside Berwick Rangers football ground at Shieldfield Park. The white building beyond the signal gantry is Tweedmouth power box, then under construction.
