Polkemmet Junction
One of the tasks given to Bathgate's J36 65267 on 15th February 1965 was to bank a westbound coal train up the hill to Armadale. I was quietly watching the spectacle as the loco came past, not planning a photograph, but had to grab the camera quickly when I saw my young brother grinning down at me from the footplate! Unknown to me, he had got himself invited on to the footplate by the very affable crew!
