Glenesk Viaduct: A2 60528 'Tudor Minstrel' crosses Glenesk Viaduct on 23rd April 1966. The train was a railtour, which had originated at Manchester Exchange and was worked throughout to Edinburgh by the A2 via the WCML and the Waverley Route. The return was via the ECML, using two separate V2s to reach York then a Jubilee back over the Pennines.

Glenfarg South Tunnel: Walking through the Glenfarg tunnels is a popular pastime, I had to pause for a while to take a photograph without anyone else! This was taken about a third of a way into the southern of the two Glenfarg tunnels showing one of the recesses in a view looking north. There's a gentle curvature to this tunnel. The ballast has been removed, which is a pity as the sleeper indentations often survive long after closure.
Dundee Tay Bridge Shed: 60530 'Sayajirao' in the shed at Dundee on 7th September 1966, with what appears to be a V2 and an Ivatt 2MT (46464?).
