A day trip to Mallaig

A few days before the class 37 bowed out on the Fort William sleeper, Johnnie and I took ourselves over to Edinburgh for a trip up to Fort William and back on the sleeper service. We also took in a jaunt to Mallaig as well. 26-27/5/2006

    The climb to Corrour was just AWESOME, what a noise! Beyond Corrour John spotted a herd of deer with a massive stag, so he stopped the train so the passengers could get a good look. In the Cruach snow shed he slowed right down and revved the loco several times for the cranks on board to savour the sound. He is a true legend. 37401 stands at Rannoch waiting for the northbound sprinter.
    The next day and it is ten minutes to one in the morning, 37401 has arrived at Edinburgh Waverley and will shortly attach the sleeper coaches to the other portions already in the station. 27/5/2006
    The day coaches will be removed from the sleepers and will not go to London. Johnnie and I head for the carpark and the drive back to Fife. What a fantastic day we just had.
