Westerton
A less than ideal photographic location, a dull wet afternoon and a flawed negative, but this was billed at the time as the final occasion on which a K2 would head for the West Highland line. On 17th June 1961, Eastfield turned out 61764 'Loch Arkaig' for the 2.50pm Saturdays-only from Glasgow Queen St to Crianlarich, seen here passing Temple, between Maryhill and Westerton. 'Loch Arkaig' was the last surviving K2 and remained active around Glasgow for another couple of months, but as far as I know never ventured again to its West Highland line home patch.
