The winter of 2021 has been very mild (so far) but it was a different story in 1965. Kingmoor's Black 5 45218 is drawing to a halt at Elderslie with the regular morning train of returning parcels and mail vans. The date is 27 November and an early snowfall has blanketed the station platforms. As it was heading for Gilmour Street, it is being held to allow a passenger train to pass 'on the inside'.
