Loanhead

Locomotive 37080, in the hands of driver Alistair Robertson, nears Loanhead on 28 March 1991. The train of empty hoppers, believed to be the last, has been sent to clear remaining stocks of coal from Bilston Glen Colliery, which had been officially closed in 1989. See image 37871 for the view twenty years later.
