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.

    Bert Hitchen's loco carries the name "The Sherwood Forrester".
    The next day and 45231 slowly back out to couple onto the stock to take it into the station for the day's run to Mallaig. 25/7/2010
    Despite all the occasions I have been to Fort William I have never done this shot so today it HAD to be done and in sun too. 45231 clears Fort William Junction and the regulator is opened fully and the loco gets into its stride.
