A few minutes later and sister unit 170452 heads for Edinburgh with 1L62 1130 from Dundee.
The once familiar sight of the front end of a class 47 or Brush type 4 loco. 47786 puts out the clag from its Sulzer 12LDA28C 2,580hp powerplant despite only having seven bogies on the drawbar.
The train is 1Z30 0556 York to Dundee with the loco and stock being part of the West Coast Railways operation. I do not recall who's tour this is but seven vehicles is a short train and there are no catering coaches either, most unusual.
