Georgemas Junction

Having shuttled to Thurso and back 158702 runs in to Georgemas Junction ready to continue on to Wick. In the background the new crane and loading area for the Dounreay flasks are nearing completion and as a result the footbridge has gone and the old platform has been incorporated into the perimeter fence. See image 12679 for the same location in 1989. A few days after this photo was taken two DRS Class 37s with a nuclear flask wagon made a timing run to Georgemas Junction ahead of the Dounreay traffic commencing in earnest.
