Glenfinnan
Black 5 5407 heading for Mallaig approaching the summit just west of Glenfinnan, heralding the return of steam to the West Highland line in May 1984. Unfortunately, apart from setting fire to much of the local heather that day, 5407 also managed to do the same to a section of S&T wiring, resulting in, amongst other things, the token having to travel by taxi and that nights sleeper departing some 3 hours late, arriving in London mid-morning.
