Class 40 & HST
My favourite viewpoint on the BKR. Here the class 40 diesel 40135 is pulling the HST prototype at about 20mph past Kinneil & about to accelerate to gain momentum for the forthcoming climb to Birkhill. I do not know why the class 40 is there other than for show since the HST is capable of moving itself & there is a class 37 out of shot bringing up the rear. Talk about belt & braces! Sorry for the water drop on my lens. We had some typical Scottish liquid sunshine today.
