A reminder of when the Stranraer line carried freight - not so long ago, 1989. Here a northbound train of steel sections passes Dunragit level crossing and the token exchange has just taken place. There was a safety man with a flag and the signal man had the luxury of a colleague who swapped the tokens while he remained in the box with the levers.
