Lockerbie

Given the limitations of my Kodak Colorsnap camera, with its fixed shutter speed of 1/40th of a second, I did not take many photos of speeding trains. However, I did capture a northbound special headed by Britannia 70038 'Robin Hood' has just opened up while travelling at speed through Lockerbie on 26 May 1964. The line to Dumfries via Lochmaben is on the right of the photo.
