The crew cast a friendly eye from the cab of J36 65267 as they set off from Bathgate with a short freight in the direction of Westfield on 15th February 1965. Earlier in the afternoon, they had kindly given my young brother a cab ride during locomotive's preceding duty, banking a coal train up the hill to Armadale. The locomotive is about to cross Whitburn Road.
