Something that usually only happens by special arrangement is 'The Jacobite' steam engine running tender first to Mallaig. Here we have Black 5 44871 doing just that at Torr Linne Dhughaill, at the start of the long climb to Glenfinnan, on 30th June 2021. It was very warm, so not much in the way of smoke and
steam from the engine, although it was working hard. [Note that No 62 Tunnel is the nearest location in our database, to the west of this point.]
