Bonnyton Junction
Not quite a Class 66 with a full load of coal hoppers, but the best available on the day! Road-rail backhoe and wagon (or is it a trailer?) heading back from the buffer-stops to load more ballast on 4 January. The buffers visible in the background are at the end of the long disused Johnnie Walker sidings headshunt, and are on the north side of the Barrhead line. Kilmarnock No 1 signalbox used to sit on top of the bank between the Barrhead and Dalry lines more or less above the backhoe's cab.
