Steam on the Fort William to Mallaig Line

The line between Fort William and Mallaig is extremely popular in the summer with the steam workings. I have worked the route dozens of times as a steam loco support crew member, firing it several occasions. I have worked on Black Fife 44767, BR Standard 4 75014, LMS 8F 48151, LNER B1 61264, and LNER K4 61994.

    The day previous was hot and sunny and I should have taken my camera that day but decided not too, big mistake. Glenfinnan station is half a mile away and the line starts the short climb to the platforms and a short wait to cross a service train.
    At Arisaig the rain was falling quite hard and our train crosses the Royal Scotsman heading back to Fort William behind 47786. The driver of 61994 will return the radio token from Glenfinnan to the signal centre at Banavie and it will be issued to the driver of the Brush type 4.
    Tailing the train is 37676.
