Waiting on the centre road at Carlisle on 5 August 1960 is A3 Pacific 60099 Call Boy. Named after the winner of the 1927 Epsom Derby, the locomotive spent its entire operational life based in Edinburgh, being eventually withdrawn from St Margarets shed in October 1963. Another historical reference worthy of mention is the advertisement in the right background for Carrs of Carlisle. The famous biscuit manufacturer, founded in the city in 1831, is now part of the United Biscuits group.
