Princes Street Gardens Cutting
Two J37s, 64570 and 64618, get on the move through Princes Street Gardens as they leave Edinburgh Waverley with the 'Aberdonian', a special excursion from London Waterloo to Aberdeen and back in June 1966. The tour used a variety of locomotives, including restored 4472 'Flying Scotsman', which had brought the train over the Waverley route. A train of ten green Southern region carriages made a somewhat bizarre sight in Edinburgh. The J37s took the tour onwards to Anstruther, via Polmont and Alloa, then back to Thornton Junction. A V2 then completed the run north to Aberdeen.
