Newcastleton
A3 Pacific 60077, suitably named 'The White Knight', can be seen coming to the rescue of Peak D27, which had gone on fire north of Newcastleton whilst heading the up Waverley. The crew had been able to put out the fire, so D27 and train were to be hauled into Newcastleton by the A3, which one would guess had been commandeered off a northbound freight. After depositing the diesel in a siding, the A3 then took the Waverley tender first to Carlisle.
