Newcastleton
A knight, albeit not quite in the most shining of armour, seen coming to the rescue of Peak D27, which had gone on fire north of Newcastleton whilst heading the up Waverley. The A3 was 60077 'The White Knight'. The train crew had been able to put out the fire, so D27 plus train were about to be hauled into Newcastleton. After depositing the diesel in a siding, the Pacific took the 'Waverley' tender first to Carlisle.
