Buchanan Street
A good number of photographers were out in the heavy rain with their cameras as B1 61407 left Glasgow Buchanan St with the 11.35 to Thornton on 5th November 1966. The station was to close the following day, however, and this was to be the final steam-hauled departure in the hours of daylight. The risk of a wet camera was no doubt having to be weighed against the importance of capturing a record of the occasion. I quite liked three-quarter rear shots of Buchanan St departures, so was happy enough to keep mine sheltered under the station canopy.
