Newcastleton
The up 'Waverley' at an unscheduled halt just north of Newcastleton, fire having broken out on the locomotive, Peak D27. Fortunately the train staff were able to bring the fire under control. The photograph was taken during the wait for a rescue locomotive. This turned out to be A3 Pacific 60077, appropriately named 'The White Knight', probably commandeered off a northbound Waverley Route freight.
