![A notable visitor to Kingmoor on 5 July 1958. The much travelled Stanier 8F no 48773 was built by the North British Locomotive Co in 1940 for the War Department (works no 24607). It was originally intended to operate in France but was instead sent to Persia in 1941, becoming Persian State Railways no 41-109. During its time in Persia the locomotive sustained damage in a derailment following a collision with a camel. In 1944 it was converted to oil firing. Four years later it went to Suez where it was almost scrapped following major mechanical problems but eventually made its way back to Derby Works for attention during 1952. Following overhaul the locomotive emerged as WD no 500 and was sent to the Longmoor Military Railway. The 8F was taken into BR stock in 1957, becoming no 48773 and allocated to Polmadie shed. Withdrawal came in 1962, only to see it reinstated in November the following year at Kingmoor (some records show an intervening temporary reinstatment between February and July 1963 while still at Polmadie). After a number of further moves the locomotive's final BR port of call was Rose Grove, from where it was withdrawn by BR for the last time in August 1968, having hauled the MRTS/SVRS 'Farewell to Steam' special a few days earlier [see image 36292]. Today 48773 can be seen on display in the Engine House at Highley on the Severn Valley Railway. <br><br>[Robin Barbour Collection (Courtesy Bruce McCartney) 05/07/1958]](/images/36000/36317.jpg "Carlisle Kingmoor Shed")

![A long way from the quayside! ES1 electric locomotive 26501 stands on Kingmoor shed minus collector shoes and pantograph (not that they'd have been much use here). Both class ES1 locomotives (the other being 26500) were withdrawn from Newcastle's quayside branch in early 1964 following which they were taken to Hellifield, where the old shed was used by the NRM to assess, store and refurbish potential preservation material. The photograph is thought to show 26501 on its way back to the north east from Hellifield in 1966. Following some talk of private preservation, 26501 appears to have been abandoned in a siding near the former station at Choppington, Northumberland, where she was eventually cut up in August 1966. On a happier note, no 26500 was later restored and refurbished and is currently a star exhibit at the NRM centre at Shildon. [see image 17307]. <br>

![On 15 February 1848 the Caledonian opened its Edinburgh terminus at Lothian Road. This temporary facility was intended to last a fairly short time pending completion of a much grander structure off to the left that was to become Princes Street station. In fact Lothian Road passenger station was in operation for just over 22 years with closure coinciding with the eventual opening of Princes Street on 2 May 1870. It was from Lothian Road station that Edinburgh's first through service to London commenced in February 1848, some two years prior to the first ECML services which followed the opening of the Royal Border Bridge by Queen Victoria in 1850. After the transfer of passenger services to the new Princes Street station, the site was subsequently put to use as a goods depot. This view around 1972 shows most of the area now cleared with a bus heading south along Lothian Road between the Usher Hall and Alexander's car showroom opposite. <br>

Stewarton, like Dunlop, is back to being a two-platform station after a gap of four decades. As the exisiting platform was substantially rebuilt too the whole thing has a new station look. Kimarnock and Stewarton now enjoy a half-hour service to Glasgow, with some of them non-stop and some others calling only at Dunlop. Clattering through Barrhead at speed is a novel experience.<br>

![The First TransPennine 1116 ex-Glasgow Central crosses the Clyde at Lamington on a wet and gloomy Christmas Eve 2017, with the Southern Uplands shrouded in mist. Normally running to Manchester Airport, the train was scheduled to terminate at Lancaster on this occasion due to engineering works.

![158708 pulls into Slateford with a Glasgow Central to Waverley stopping service on 18th January 2018. Odd to think that for a few years post-Beeching this strangely anonymous place (sorry Slateford) had Edinburgh's only suburban station.<br>

!['... Carstairs Junction and Lanark.' This road sign near West Calder station is a neat listing of the closed stations on the Midcalder Junction to Carstairs section. Cobbinshaw is perhaps an odd choice as a road destination when the comparative metropolis of Woolfords is nearby. Cobbinshaw is an unmarked couple of houses at the end of an unsignposted lane. Good spot for reservoir fishing though, if you like that sort of thing.<br><br>[David Panton 15/03/2018]](/images/63000/63377.jpg "West Calder")

![158 710 calls at Kirknewton on a Glasgow to Edinburgh service on 22 March. On this line 158s seem to be favoured for the stopping services leaving 156s for the semi-fasts. This is perhaps counter-intuitive and I wonder what the reason is. Maybe the 158s have better acceleration for the frequent stops.<br><br>[David Panton 22/03/2018]](/images/63000/63476.jpg "Kirknewton")
![A riot of colour - at least I assume that's the intention come summer. This sort of thing was once quite common, though if this station ever had one in the past it would have read MIDCALDER, the name until 1982. This was despite the fact that the town is spelled Mid Calder, it's over 2 miles away and you've got to go through the larger East Calder to get there.<br><br>[David Panton 22/03/2018]](/images/63000/63546.jpg "Kirknewton")

![A Glasgow service halts at Curriehill on 28th March 2018. It might have been a better marketing move to give this station its original name of Currie when it reopened in 1987, rather than its last name.
