Buchanan Street

A4 60019 'Bittern' was pictured awaiting departure from Glasgow Buchanan St on a special day excursion to Aberdeen on 3rd September 1966. This was timed at three hours each way and advertised by BR Scottish Region as the 'Last public run of an
A4 Pacific'. Photographers and spectators enjoyed remarkably free access to the tracks around the locomotive – a few can be seen in this shot, but there were many more milling around.
