Buchanan Street
The 11.35 to Thornton is ready to leave Glasgow Buchanan St on Saturday 5th November 1966, with B1 61407 in charge. This was I believe the last steam-hauled train to leave the station during daylight hours. The final steam-hauled service was the 18.40 to Dunfermline that evening, hauled by B1 61330, and Buchanan St closed for good the next day. 61330 can be seen at the back of 61407’s train, having worked in on the 10.50 arrival from Leven. The locomotives were the other way round for the evening departure, with 61407 at the back of the train after bringing in the stock with the 18.22 arrival from Kirkcaldy.
