Edinburgh Waverley
Two J37 0-6-0s, 64570 and 64618, await the arrival of the 'Aberdonian' excursion at Edinburgh Waverley on 25th June 1966. This was a spectacular railtour from London Waterloo to Aberdeen, taking 46 hours and using nine locomotives. A3 4472 'Flying Scotsman' brought the train from Hellifield to Edinburgh, via the Settle and Carlisle and the Waverley routes, and the J37s took over for the next stage into Fife, using the other Forth Bridge near Alloa. The return journey from Aberdeen would feature the more usual Forth Bridge, albeit crossing at 3am the following morning!
