The Whin Bridge
Viewed from on board the 'A3 Farewell' railtour of 5th June 1965, A4 60027 'Merlin' is making short work of the climb from Galashiels towards Falahill, albeit with a light load of only six carriages. The A4 was a short notice replacement for the chosen A3, 60052 'Prince Palatine', which had had to leave the train after running hot on the Newcastle – Carlisle section of the tour. Regrettably, I think this was the only occasion when I photographed the Waverley route before the 1969 closure.
